sunlight energy

Photosynthesis1. H2O is split by light energy. Its oxygen diffuses away; its electrons, hydrogen enter transfer chains with roles in ATP formation. Coenzymes pick up the electrons and hydrogen

2. ATP energy drives the synthesis of glucose from hydrogen and electrons (delivered by coenzymes), plus carbon and oxygen (from carbon dioxide).

Aerobic Respiration1. Glucose is broken down completely to carbon dioxide and water. Coenzymes pick up the electrons, hydrogens.

2. The coenzymes give up the electrons and hydrogen atoms to oxygen-requiring transfer chains that have roles in forming many ATP molecules.

ATP available to drive nearly all cellular tasks
