In this article we will discuss about the process of formation of ATP by photophosphorylation. Photosynthesis: Light Phase and Dark Phase: Heterotrophic organisms collect from the external medium, comparatively simple organic molecules which can serve as carbon-containing skeletons for their syntheses or as energy source (ATP) when they are oxidized during mitochondrial reactions of respiration according to the general reaction: [...]
In this article we will discuss about the role of protons in the synthesis of ATP in energy transducing membranes, explained with the help of a suitable diagram. It is known that electron carrier chains are implanted in specialized membranes. Whenever an energy recovery and a synthesis of ATP are coupled with the reoxidation of a chain of e- carriers, [...]
In this article we will discuss about the formation of ATP in anaerobic cells. We know that the formation of ATP in the respiratory chain is because it is the most common process in living organisms. The strict anaerobes, i.e. species which can live only in the absence of oxygen (in the ground or mud, for example) are comparatively rare. [...]
