1
Q

how do they work

A

they break down molecules high in PE to ones that have low PE

  • the energy lost is used to do work
  • the rest is lost as heat
2
Q

fermentation

A

the partial degradation of sugar without the use of O2

3
Q

Aerobic respiration

A

O2 is consumed as reactant as well as the organic fuel

4
Q

cellular respiration is a- or an- erobic

A
  • includes both

- considered aerobic

5
Q

overall aerobic reactions equations

A

organic compounds + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + energy

6
Q

cellular respiration equation

A

C6H12O6 + 6O2-> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (ATP and heat)

7
Q

cellular respiration free energy change

A

exergonic

G=-686kcal/mole go glucose decomposed
