Carbon is a component of all organic molecules, many of which are essential for life. The ultimate source of all organic molecules is primary production, in which photosynthetic organisms take in carbon dioxide gas (or bicarbonate - CO2's water-dissolved form) and, using sunlight as an energy source, convert it into glucose.
of food molecules is released and partially captured in the form of ATP. Cellular respiration is the general term which describes all metabolic reactions involved in the formation of usable energy from the breakdown of nutrients. In living organisms, the universal source of energy is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can all be used as fuels in cellular respiration, but glucose is most commonly used as an example to examine the reactions and pathways involved. Marathon runners eat a large plate of pasta the night before a competition because pasta is a good source of energy, or fuel for the body.
