13. Respiration and Energy Transfer - part 01 - Formation of ATP
Formation of ATP :
Oxidative phosphorylation :
- Formation of ATP is called as phosphorylation.
- In nature, phosphorylation occurs in three different ways as -
- photophosphorylation
- substratelevel phosphorylation and
- oxidative phosphorylation.
- Formation of ATP in the chloroplasts in presence of light is called photophosphorylation.
- It takes place in the two forms.
- Cyclic photophosphorylation
- Non-Cyclic photophosphorylation
- It is a direct phosphorylation of ADP by transfer of a phosphate group from any suitable substrate.
- It occurs in cytoplasm of the cells and matrix of mitochondria.
Oxidative phosphorylation :
- It is phosphorylation of ADP at the cost of energy released during oxidation of substrates like NADH+H+ and FADH2.
- This occurs on the inner mitochondrial membrane only.
- When energy is required for any metabolic process, ATP is hydrolysed.
- ATP hydrolysis releases the energy which is used for the metabolic activities.
- Respiration is a catabolic process where in complex organic substrate is oxidized to simple components to generate biological energy.
- Cellular respiration occurs in two different ways -
- Anaerobic respiration
- Aerobic respiration.
