Why does ATP serve as an energy carrier
its bonds are unstable so the energy can be released quickly
How do we harvest energy
through oxidation-reduction reactions, like energy that is trapped between bonds of ATP and phosphate that we harvest with glucose
Substrate-level phosphorylation
when ATP is generated by inorganic phosphate being transferred from phosphorylated compound to substrate
Oxidative phosphorylation
when electrons are transferred to a series of electron carriers
Where does oxidative phosphorylation occur in cells
in plasma membrane of prokaryotes and inner mitochondrial membrane of eukarya
Photophosphorylation
occurs in photosynthetic cells where light is converted in ATP and NADH, involves an electron transport chain
Metabolic pathways
when cells pass electrons from one compound to the next through a series of oxidation-reduction reactions
