8.1 Cellular Respiration
| | |
- During cellular respiration, the breakdown of glucose drives the synthesis of ATP.
- The coenzymes NAD+ and FAD accept electrons from substrates and carry them to the electron transport system in mitochondria.
- The breakdown of glucose requires four phases: three metabolic pathways and one individual enzymatic reaction. The three metabolic pathways consist of a number of enzymatic reactions.
| - Give the overall chemical equation for cellular respiration.
Answer - Is the breakdown of glucose an endergonic or exergonic reaction?
