2 / energy and simple chemical building blocks to produce large chemicals and structures necessary for life.

  1. Catabolism: The sum total of all processes in an organism which break down chemicals to produce energy and simple chemical building blocks.
  2. Cellular respiration and metabolism are examples of:: Catabolic reactions
  3. cellular respiration: Transfer of electrons that have stored energy, such as glucose, to other molecules
  4. aerobic respiration: Respiration that involves consumption of oxygen. Yields greatest amount of ATP and is primary metabolic pathway in the body.
  5. anaerobic respiration: Respiration that does not require oxygen
  6. Glycolysis: first step in releasing the energy of glucose, in which a molecule of glucose is broken into two molecules of pyruvic acid. Can be aerobic or anaerobic; occurs in cytoplasm
  7. Equation for Gylcolysis: Glucose+2NAD*+2ATP+2Pi = 2 Pyruvates+2NADH+2ADP+4ATP
