Class notes BIOS 1700: Ch.7- Cellular Respiration

This set of notes covers all of chapter 7 (cellular respiration) in depth. These notes answer the following questions: How does chemistry play a role in biology? How is energy transferred from one molecule to another? How does the cell use energy (ATP) to function? Where is ATP produced in the cell? How do animals produce ATP? How do plants produce ATP? How is ATP production controlled in the cell? How do electrons move through chemical reactions? What molecules carry around electrons in the cell? These notes also cover key concepts: the overview of cellular respiration, the basics of oxidation and reduction, the key electrons that help carry out cellular respiration, redox reactions in chemical reactions in biology, the four stages of ATP synthesis (Phosphorylation), step-by-step production of ATP and Electron carriers, the three phases of glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, the electron transport chain (ETC), and Proton (H+) transport. This document also contains in-depth drawings of diagrams for a better understanding of concepts.
