a.

Summary Introduction

To describe:

The chemical properties of ATP that make it suitable as “metabolic money” within a biological cell.

Concept introduction:

ATP is called as “Adenosine triphosphate” which is the main energy-providing molecule inside the cell. It drives the metabolic reactions with formation of products from substrates inside the cell.

b.

Summary Introduction

To explain:

Comparison and contrast of substrate-level phosphorylation, oxidative phosphorylation and photophosphorylation and provide examples of how each is used inside the cell.

Concept Introduction:

ATP is required for driving the metabolic reactions inside the cell. It consists of a nitrogenous base linked to a pentose sugar with a phosphate group.
