6.3 How is cell energy transported within cells?
  1. transportation of energy in cells
    1. glucose is the energy provider, energy from glucose is transferred to energy carrier-molecules
      1. energy carrier-molecules are high-energy molecules that are synthesized at the site for an exergonic reaction
        1. like rechargeable batteries
        2. energy carrier-molecules only transfer and capture energy within cells
        3. ATP and electron carriers transport energy within cells
          1. ATP adenosine triphosphate is the most common energy-carrier molecule in the body is produced during the breaking down of exergonic reactions
            1. called "energy currency" of cells
              1. most ATP is produced in the mitochondria. Mitochondria is known as the power house of the cell
                1. not a long-term energy-storage molecule: life time in cell is short; it's recycled about 1,400 times a day
                2. ADP adenosine diphosphate
                  1. ADP to ATP, endergonic reaction
                  2. electron carriers
                    1. capture energetic electrons along with hydrogen ions (H+)
                      1. energetic electrons gain the energy from exergonic reactions, in which glucose breakdown and sun capturing in photosynthesis happen
                      2. carries energy and transfers their high energy electrons to other molecules to form ATP, NADPH, FADH2
                    2. coupled reactions link exergonic with endergonic reactions
                      1. coupled reaction
                        1. an exergonic reaction provides the energy needed to drive an endergonic reaction using ATP electron carriers as intermediates
                          1. ATP are a must because exergonic and endergonic reactions occur in different places within a cell
                          2. energy is lost as heat in this process of transformation
                            1. Energy released by exergonic reactions must exceed the energy needed to drive the endergonic reaction
