Study Notes
Phosphorylation
- Refers to the addition of a phosphate group to a molecule, typically involving ADP and inorganic phosphate (P).
- The process generates ATP and produces water as a byproduct.
ATP Production
- Word equation: ADP + P + Energy = ATP + H₂O.
- Represents how energy is stored in the form of ATP, a key energy currency in cells.
Advantages of ATP
- ATP is a reusable energy source, allowing cells to regenerate it multiple times for various cellular processes.
NADH
- High-energy molecule that plays a critical role in transferring high energy electrons.
- Essential for ATP production during the electron transport chain.
Full Name of NADH
- Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide.
NADPH
- High-energy molecule used for transferring electrons and a H+ ion, particularly in plants.
- Vital for the Calvin Cycle in the process of glucose synthesis.
Full Name of NADPH
- Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate.
NADH Production
- Word equation: NAD⁺ + H⁺ + 2e⁻ = NADH.
- Describes the reduction of NAD⁺ to NADH, essential for energy metabolism.
NADPH Production
- Word equation: NADP⁺ + H⁺ + 2e⁻ = NADPH.
- Highlights the conversion of NADP⁺ to NADPH, important in photosynthetic processes.
