- We will not cover carbohydrates.
- We will finish bioenergetics.
- Friday we'll begin glycolysis.
- From C6H12O6 being reduced to CO2 we get 686 kcal/mol. We use 613 kcal/mol of this energy, so we're 90% efficient at this step.
- We get 38-40 ATP total, though so we're only 40% efficient on the whole.
- We the difficult step in this process is converting electrical energy (high energy electrons) to chemical energy.
- We were given his hand transcribed notes.
