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. [...]
In this article we will discuss about the importance of ATP and other compounds of high energy potential. Living cells must perform some endergonic reactions; these are not only anabolic reactions like those already mentioned (biosynthesis of macro- molecules such as polysaccharides, proteins, nucleic acids), but also some reactions of transport, transmission, mechanical work, functioning of the nervous system, catabolic [...]
In this article we will learn about the formation of ATP in the respirator chain. Advantage of an Oxidation by Steps: Glucose or glucosyl equivalents, are our main source of energy; we will take them as example to illustrate the relations between cellular oxidations and ATP formation. But it must be said that other compounds can be a source of [...]
