Coupled Reaction: It consists of reactions depend on each other in the way that energy released by one reaction drives other reaction.
Electron transport chain: The series of pathway where the electron gets passed from reduced coenzymes to the oxygen which gets finally coupled resulting in formation of
Oxidative phosphorylation: The production of

- Why is ATP considered a "nucleotide"? Why doesn't it get incorporated into a polynucleotide like RNA and DNA?arrow_forwardCan a chemical reaction takes place without the application of enzyme or catalyst? Why or why not?arrow_forwardWhat effects do unsaturated fatty acids in phospholipids have on the cell membrane?arrow_forward
- Explain the chemical structure of ATP. Why is it considered to be a modified nucleotide?arrow_forwardDefine chemical equilibrium in the context of a chemical reaction. Why is this condition not favorable in cells? How do cells act biochemically to keep their reactions out of equilibrium?arrow_forwardElectrons in glucose have relatively high free energies. How do they become so energetic?arrow_forward
- Which of the following is most similar in structure to ATP? a DNA helix an amino acid with three phosphate groups attached a phospholipid an anabolic steroidarrow_forwardIn living cells, glucose, a six-carbon molecule, is converted into two three-carbon molecules. What type of chemical reaction is this?arrow_forwardWhat is ATP? What structure in the cell where ATP stored?arrow_forward
