what is the diff between oxidative phosphorylation and substrate-level phosphorylation
Oxidative Phosphorylation: Relies on the electron transport chain and proton gradient, requires oxygen, and generates a high yield of ATP.
Substrate-Level Phosphorylation: Involves direct transfer of phosphate groups, does not require oxygen, and generates a smaller yield of ATP.
A low pH value corresponds to a ___ concentration of hydrogen ions.
high
What pathway do you use to make nucleotides?
Non-oxidative phase. Ribulose-5-p to ribose=5-p
glucagon
hormone for when glucose is gone
