2. Cellular Respiration - Transfer of Energy via ATP Flashcards
Where are cellular respiration pathways found?
In cells from all three domains (archea, bacteria, eukaryota)
What does cellular respiration do?
yields energy connected to many other pathways
What does the breakdown of glucose in enzyme controlled steps involve?
removal of hydrogen and high energy electrons to yield ATP
What is the phosphorylation of molecules?
an enzyme catalysed chemical reaction that attaches a phosphate group to another molecule
Where does ATP transfer the energy to and from?
from cellular respiration to synthetic pathway and other cellular processes where energy is required
What does the ATP breakdown into?
ADP and phosphate releasing energy
What energy is used for the regeneration of ATP from ADP and phosphate?
The energy released by cellular respiration
