|
Autotrophs
|
convert sunlight -> bond energy (stored in organic molecules like glucose)
anabolic |
|
|
photosynthesis
|
6C02 + 6 H2O + Energy = C6H12O6 (glucose) +6 O2
|
|
|
Heterotrophs
|
break down organic materials (catabolic) irelease ATP
|
|
|
Energy carriers
|
1. molecular carriers: ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
2. coenzymes carriers: NAD+, NADP+, FAD (oxidizing agents) (reduced/catabolic) to NADH, NADPH, FADH) transport high energy electrons of H to series of electron carriers (electron transport chain: inner mitochondrial matrix) |
|
|
oxidizing agents
|
cause other molecules to lose electrons and undergo oxidation
they themselves are reduced (undergo reduction) gain electrons ex. NAD+ reduced to NADH (accept electron in form of hydrogen atoms) |
|
|
oxidation
|
loss of electrons
ex: aldehyde oxidized to carboxylic acid |
