The molar concentration of ATP in cells is usually 1-10 mM. ATP can be produced through various cellular pathways. The most typical pathway is the oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria catalyzed by ATP synthase, or the synthesis through photosynthesis in plant chloroplasts. The main sources of ...
ATP:ATP is a molecule that is produced in all cell types. This molecule is produced via a process called cellular respiration and can be produced via glycolysis or oxidative phosphorylation.Answer and Explanation: Become a Study.com member to unlock this answer! Create your account View thi...
An ATP synthase is any enzyme, or catalytic protein, that is primarily involved in the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), one of the most important units of energy storage in the biological systems. Different varieties of ATP synthase appear in different types of cells and organelles as...
What can mitochondria directly use to make ATP? Explain how the cell uses the ATP molecule for energy. What is chemiosmosis and how does it generate ATP? What is ATP and how is it made? What kind of energy does ATP (the energy currency of the cell) store?
Oxidative Phosphorylation What is mitochondria? 2 membranes: Inner - only permeable to O 2, H 2 O transporters req’d for ATP, P i, pyruvate, etc. folding increases surface area (site of ox. phos. machinery) Matrix contains: citric acid cycle enzymes Fatty acid oxidation enzymes (discuss ...
Oxidative phosphorylationIn ATP synthase, X-ray structures, demonstration of ATP-driven 纬-subunit rotation, and tryptophan fluorescence techniques to determine catalytic site occupancy and nucleotide binding affinities have resulted in pronounced progress in understanding ATP hydrolysis, for which a mechanism...
What is Adenosine Diphosphate? Discussion Comments Byanon349967— On Sep 30, 2013 @anon154251: ATP and CP are heavy molecules and would weigh the cell down. It would rather resynthesize ATP after have been separated by ATPase. Byanon154251— On Feb 20, 2011 ...
the various high-energy electron carriers are put to use. Their electrons are stripped off by enzymes embedded in the mitochondrial membrane, and their energy is used to power the addition of phosphate groups to ADP to form ATP, a process called oxidative phosphorylation. Oxygen is the final el...
NADPH produces 3 ATP, but FADH2 produces only 2 ATPs. Why? How is the energy that is stored in NADPH and ATP during the light reactions eventually used? What is the function of NADPH? In what photosystem is ATP made? Which of the following is not produced in the light-dependent reactio...
What is the name of the molecule that is the primary (starting) substrate for glycolysis? In chemiosmotic (oxidative) phosphorylation, what is the most direct source of energy that is used to convert ADP + Pi to ATP, and what is the d...
