By breaking down food molecules through sequential reactions.
Approximately 60% of the energy is lost as heat.
About 40% is stored in molecules like ATP for energy transport.
Adenine, ribose, and three phosphate groups.
ATP breaks down into ADP and inorganic phosphate, releasing energy.
It increases the chemical energy of a molecule by adding a phosphate group.
An enzyme that transfers a phosphate group from ATP to a substrate.
It removes a phosphate group from a substrate.
It can change the conformation of a protein, activating or inactivating it.
It transfers a phosphate group to another molecule, increasing its chemical energy.
By adding a phosphate group to ADP, requiring energy from nutrient breakdown.
Oxidation involves losing electrons, while reduction involves gaining electrons.
It loses hydrogen or gains oxygen, releasing energy.
They accept hydrogen atoms and become reduced, storing energy.
It gains electrons, often in the form of hydrogen atoms.
It results in the release of energy from the substance.
