Question

C) Define "oxidative phosphorylation." (One clear complete sentence will work as an answer.) D) The reaction ADP + Pi → ATP is highly endergonic. In the case of oxidative phosphorylation, where does the energy required for ATP synthesis come from? (Not the sun. I mean most immediately in the phosphorylation reaction itself. It's OK if this overlaps your answer to part C.) E) In terms of the energy that drives ATP synthesis, what is the difference between oxidative phosphorylation and photophosphorylation? (One clear and specific sentence will work as an answer.)

Answer 1

(C). oxidative phosphorylation is a metabolic Pathway, in this pathway cells oxidize nutrients by the use of enzymes and release chemical energy of molecular which is used in the production OF ATP. oxygen, gt is made two of up connected processes.. one is electron trampost chain and the Second is chemiosmosis. In oxidative phosphorylation ATP is produced as a result of transfer of the electrons for NADH OF FADH2 to the oxygen molecules by differen electron carriers. - gn oxidative phosphorylation, electrons derived from the NADH and FADH2 get combine with the oxygen molecules (O2), and the enesgy is released from these oxidation and Reduction processes is used in the Synthesis of ATP from the ADP.

En oxidative phosphorylation reduction of Oxygen (02) occurs into water (H2O) molecules and electrons are donated by the NADH and FADH2. This process occurs equally in light as well as in darkness, whereas In Photophosphorylation oxidation of water (H2O) occurs into oxygen (02) and NADPt is the electron acceptos. This process depends on the on the light.
