![]() And as we'll see, as they're able to go to other molecules and go to lower and lower energy states, they're able to do useful things that can eventually end up And the reason why these two electrons are really interesting is, in NADH, they're in aįairly high energy state. The gaining of electrons, which is happening right over here. Part, two electrons, it will be reduced to NADH. That two hydrogen protons, and this is the important But going back to our journey of cellular respiration, an NAD+ molecule, if you were to add to So once again, these molecules are adaptedĪnd reused all over the place. Recognize that adenosine is involved in theįormation of DNA as well. Very molecular components that are showing up inĭifferent places in biology, and you might also And we also noticed that ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate. It is worth noting, NAD stands for nicotinamideĪdenine dinucleotide. ![]() Once again, don't get tooīogged down in the details. Molecule known as NAD+, if you want to know what it looks like, it looks like this. More depth in other videos, does start to produce some ATPs, and also helps produce some Now just that process alone, and we'll go into much And what it does is itīreaks each glucose molecule into two molecules known as pyruvate. Now to understand the steps of it, we will start in the cytosol of a cell, where a process known as To bond to other things can actually release energy and can fuel muscles, can fuel other biological processes. In your biological journey or your understanding of biology, you'll see that ATP molecules like this, by losing that phosphate and allowing that phosphate Usable form of energy? Well, as you go forward ![]() Say, why is that useful? Why is that a more readily And that energy can be used to take what's known as ADP that has two phosphate groups, and add a third phosphate The bonds in glucose, and having its constituentsįorm bonds with other things, that has a net release of energy. It into other things, as you're able to break On here is that glucose, as you are able to shape What these structures are, but what's really going Now you might be wondering, what is ATP? And to help us answer that question, I will show you a picture of ATP, and I will also show you a picture of glucose or a visualization of it. Our body temperature, especially if it's cold outside side. Now that energy he is in the form of heat, which can help us maintain Some carbon dioxide, which we also need toīreathe hard to exhale, some water, and some energy. Glucose right over here, using oxygen, and that's why we have to breathe really hard in order to do our cellular respiration. Look at them in aggregate, you're starting with the And what it's all about is a series of steps that when you Of cellular respiration, and this really is an overview video, we will start with the chemicalĮquation for respiration. Maintain our body temperature, and maintain body homeostasis. The biochemical processes that can take things that we find in food and convert it into forms of energy that we can use to do things like run and In this video, we're going to talk aboutĬellular respiration, which sounds like a very fancy thing, but it's really just about
