Heat produced = heat absorbed by water + heat absorbed by calorimeter = (m x C x T)water + (m x C. x T)calorimeter = (500 g x 1.00 cal g-1 C-1 x 59.6 C) + (20.9 cal C-1 x 59.6C) = 25086 calories = 25.09 kcal (produced by 5.0 g of candy bar) = 5.02 kcal g-1

Respiration
Respiration is crucial function for all living organisms. In general the process of respiration serves two basic purposes
1. The disposal of electrons generated during catabolism 2. The production of ATP.
8
Cellular Respiration
Cellular respiration involves a set of metabolic processes that occur in the cell to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and waste products Respiration involves catabolic redox reactions. One molecule is oxidized and another is reduced.
9
Adenosine Triphosphate
The structure of ATP includes an adenine group, a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups
Adenosine Triphosphate
Energy released from the catabolic destruction of carbon containing molecules is stored in ATP.

Aerobic Respiration
Aerobic respiration requires oxygen A. It involves the break down of glucose, amino acids and fatty acids to release energy B. Oxygen is the terminal electron acceptor. C. The overall process of aerobic respiration can be described as:
Glucose + Oxygen Energy + Carbon dioxide + Water
14
Aerobic Respiration
The aerobic respiration is a high energy yielding process. Up to 38 molecules of ATP are produced for every molecule of glucose that is utilized. Aerobic respiration takes place in almost all living things. It is easy to get rid of the Carbon Dioxide and excess water; this is excretion (the removal of the toxic waste products of metabolism), and maximum energy is released from the glucose.
15
Anaerobic Respiration
Some organisms can respire in the absence of air: this is anaerobic respiration. This does not release so much energy and it produces more toxic waste products. When Oxygen is not available, anaerobic respiration also occurs in humans.
Anaerobic respiration can take place during vigorous exercise, building up lactic acid in muscle tissue. This results in muscle pain and cramping.
The bacteria in milk also produce lactic acid but is an optical isomer of that produced in muscle cramping. Yeasts produce alcohol which is also toxic. Eventually there will be so much alcohol that the yeast cannot survive.
16
Anaerobic Respiration
Anaerobic respiration is a special type of respiration, which takes place without oxygen to produce energy in the form of ATP or adenosine tri-phosphate. The process of anaerobic respiration for production of energy can occur in either of the ways represented below: Glucose Energy (ATP) + Ethanol + Carbon dioxide (CO2) Glucose Energy (ATP) + Lactic acid
17
Anaerobic Respiration
The process of anaerobic respiration is relatively less energy yielding than aerobic respiration During the alcoholic fermentation or the anaerobic respiration two molecules of ATP (energy) are produced. for every molecule of glucose used in the reaction. Likewise for lactate fermentation 2 molecules of ATP are produced for every molecule of glucose used. Thus anaerobic respiration breaks down one glucose molecule to obtain two units of the energy storing ATP molecules.

Electron Transport
The oxidation of food at the cellular level involves a series of redox reactions involving electron transport These reactions take place + in the mitochondria found inside the cell The enzymes that catalyze these oxidation processes are called cytochromes Cytochromes incorporate porphyrin rings with either a Cu2+ or Fe2+ at the center

Electron Transport
The cytochrome structure heme group from cytochrome oxidase
Cytochromes contain Cu2+ or Fe3+ ions. The porphyrin ligand contains 4 nitrogen atoms, each of which donates 2 electrons. During each step of the oxidation of glucose: Fe3+ Fe2+ + eor Cu2+ Cu+ + e-
