When there is a demand for energy in our cells, When there is a demand for energy in our cells, enzymes break the last bond (enzymes break the last bond (++) releasing useable ) releasing useable energy, producing:energy, producing:

Adenosine + Phosphate + Phosphate Adenosine + Phosphate + Phosphate + Phosphate+ Phosphate (ADP (ADP + Phosphate + Phosphate + energy release)+ energy release) Dephosphorylation – Exergonic reactionDephosphorylation – Exergonic reaction

ATP CycleATP Cycle After cellular respiration, a lot of energy is release from the After cellular respiration, a lot of energy is release from the

break down of glucose.break down of glucose. This energy can be used to attach free phosphates to ADP to This energy can be used to attach free phosphates to ADP to

produce ATP. In fact there is enough energy released to produce ATP. In fact there is enough energy released to require the formation of 36 ATP molecules.require the formation of 36 ATP molecules.

Redox ReactionsRedox Reactions

Reduction is Reduction is gaining gaining electrons/hydrogen (and usually electrons/hydrogen (and usually some energy)some energy)

Oxidation is Oxidation is losing losing electrons/hydrogen (and usually electrons/hydrogen (and usually some energy.some energy.

When a coenzyme grabs 2 electrons, it has When a coenzyme grabs 2 electrons, it has been been reduced.reduced.

When the coenzyme releases the electrons, it When the coenzyme releases the electrons, it has been has been oxidized,oxidized, and energy is released. and energy is released.

Using this energy to attach a phosphate to Using this energy to attach a phosphate to ADP is called ADP is called Oxidative Phosphorylation.Oxidative Phosphorylation.

If some protons are waiting at the bottom of If some protons are waiting at the bottom of the ETC, they join with the electrons to form the ETC, they join with the electrons to form Hydrogen atomsHydrogen atoms

CoenzymesCoenzymes

Coenzymes are organic molecules that act as Coenzymes are organic molecules that act as electron carriers, or Hydrogen carriers.electron carriers, or Hydrogen carriers.
