FOOD!FOOD!

IMPORTANT!IMPORTANT!Breaking down food intro small Breaking down food intro small pieces = Digestion (Hydrolysis!)pieces = Digestion (Hydrolysis!)

Breaking the covalent bond of the Breaking the covalent bond of the small food pieces (like glucose) to small food pieces (like glucose) to release stored energy = release stored energy = RESPIRATIONRESPIRATION

Glucose fragments (pyruvates) are Glucose fragments (pyruvates) are transported into a mitochondriontransported into a mitochondrion

Mitochondria completely “pulverize” the Mitochondria completely “pulverize” the glucose “halves”, (pyruvate). Most of the glucose “halves”, (pyruvate). Most of the covalent bonds are broken; the atoms are covalent bonds are broken; the atoms are now only bonded in the form of water and now only bonded in the form of water and carbon dioxide. The water & CO2 are carbon dioxide. The water & CO2 are released as waste products. released as waste products.
