Module 1- Oxidation of carbon fuels in an important source of cellular energy

Question 1

where does the energy that ATP possesses come from (more specifically)

Answer 1

-it comes form the break down or catabolism of the biomolecules we eat
-more specifically the carbon in the fuels we eat (primarily glucose and fat) is oxidized to CO2 snf the energy released is used to regenerate ATP form ADP and Pi

Question 2

how do electrons get transfured in oxidation reactions

Answer 2

they involve the loss of electrons form the molecule being oxidized and the gain of electrons by another molecule that is said to become reduced

Question 3

what is substrate-level phosphorolation

Answer 3

ATP synthesis that results form the transfer of a phosphate group form one high phosphoryl-transfer potential compound to ADP
