ATPase

Enzyme necessary for the hydrolysis of ATP.

Phosphorylation

Name of a reaction that adds phosphate.

ATP synthetase

Enzyme necessary in phosphorylation.

Sealed

Used to describe membranes that are water tight, such as cell membranes.

Oxidative

Type of phosphorylation that occurs during aerobic respiration on the inner membranes (cristea) of the mitochondria.

Photophosphorylation

Type of phosphorylation that occurs in the light-dependent stage of photosynthesis on the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts.

Substrate level

Type of phosphorylation that occurs when phosphate groups are transferred to donor molecules during glycolysis or in the Krebs cycle.
