ENERGY STORED
IN GLUCOSE
GLUCOSE
THE IMMEDIATE ENERGY SOURCE OF THE CELL
• 6-Carbon Carbohydrate C6H12O6 (Hexose)
• The starter molecule of cellular respiration
• Glucose stores energy in the form of Adenosine
Triphoshate (ATP)
• Some organisms can produce their own glucose from
inorganic sources (autotrophs) while others have to
consume glucose from other organic sources
(heterotrophs)
• Other sources of energy include Triglycerides and
Proteins.
ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE
THE ENERGY CURRENCY OF THE CELL
• It is a Nucleic Acid molecule that remains a singular
nucleotide composed of 1 Ribose (Sugar), 3 Phosphates,
and 1 Adenine (nitrogenous base)
• ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP and Pi by and enzyme called
ATPase to release energy of
approximately (7.3 kcal/mol or 30kJ/mol)
• The energy released will be used by the cell to carry
out its metabolic processes.

THE MITOCHONDRIA
FADH2 0 -- 2 2
• Aerobic
• Takes place in the Mitochondrial Inner Membrane
• Main source of energy in the aerobic pathway (because it produces
the greatest number of ATP)
• Consists of a series of molecules, mostly proteins, embedded in the
inner mitochondrial membrane (Complexes I-IV and ATP Synthase)
• NADH and FADH2 are electron carriers that are needed to produce
ATP in this stage
• This stage generates ATP from the movement of Hydrogen Ions from
the Intermembrane space to the Mitochondrial Matrix through ATP
Synthase. This process is called Chemiosmosis
• H20 is produced from the combination of Hydrogen Ions from the
matrix and the final electron acceptor, oxygen.
