F: Energy Generation

Question 1

Energy Generation: 3 Types

Answer 1

Three types:
– Substrate Level (SLP)
– Electron Transport Level (ETLP)
– Photophosphorylation

Question 2

SLP

Answer 2

Substrate Level
-Energy-rich donor substance: Phosphates
– Direct Transfer to ADP

Question 3

ETLP (Oxidative Phosphorylation)

Answer 3

-Electron Transport Level
-Electrons are removed from the catabolism of a compound -“Carriers” (cytochromes) transfer the electrons in a chain: “Oxidative”
-Coupled to synthesis of ATP using the enzyme ATP-synthase: “Phosphorylation”

Question 4

Photophosphorylation

Answer 4

similar to ETLP
-The conversion of light energy (photons) to high energy electrons
-Resulting in the formation of ATP
