Respiration
Respiration releases
chemical energy from glucose and stores it in a form called ATP. ATP goes
through Hydrolysis to produce ADP and an inorganic phosphate. This energy
release provides muscle contraction and active transport. Glycolysis oxidizes
glucose into a pyruvic acid. Although it needs some ATP to get it started, it
provides a small profit of ATP with some reduced NAD.
Question: Do all
living thing need ATP?
Importance of topic:
The reason why the
topic is important is because we as humans should understand how our body is
obtaining energy and the processes that undergo for energy to become what it is
or will be.
