3.3.3 Define the term cell respiration.
The most prevalent and efficient catabolic pathway (a metabolic pathway that releases energy by breaking down complex molecules to simpler compounds) for the production of ATP in which oxygen is used as a reactant along with organic food.

3.3.4 Explain how adenosine can gain and lose a phosphate molecule.
Adenosine Triphosphate is an energy rich chemical compound which serves as the immediate source of energy of most of the reactions in the body, especially muscle contraction.
ATP is made up of a smaller compound (adenosine) and three phosphate groups (hence the name triphosphate).

3.3.4 Explain how adenosine can gain and lose a phosphate molecule.
Some molecules release a great deal of energy when their bonds are broken. ATP is one such high energy molecule. It is a kind of “currency” which powers all sorts of biological work.
When it is broken down, ATP releases energy. ATP is broken down into Adenosine Diphosphate. That is, adenosine plus two phosphates and a separate phosphate group.

- Pg. 69
in the presence of oxygen pyruvate is processed by the Krebs cycle which liberates electrons that are passed through the electron transport chain producing energy (ATP).
Fats are also broken down by beta oxidation that liberates a greater number of electrons thus more ATP. In the presence of oxygen and in extreme cases protein is also utilized.
