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 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 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 [...]
