    Study Notes

    ATP Production in Eukaryotic Cells

    • ATP is primarily produced in mitochondria, often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell.
    • The production of ATP occurs through oxidative phosphorylation during cellular respiration.

    Energy Carrier in Cells

    • Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) serves as the primary energy carrier in cells, providing energy for various biochemical reactions.

    Photophosphorylation Process

    • Photosynthesis converts ADP to ATP using energy captured from sunlight. This process occurs in chloroplasts of plant cells, particularly through the light-dependent reactions.

    Function of ATP in Cells

    • The main function of ATP is to store and transfer energy for cellular activities, powering processes such as muscle contraction, biosynthesis, and active transport.

    Precursor Molecule for ATP Synthesis

    • Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is the precursor molecule used to synthesize ATP, gaining an inorganic phosphate (Pi) in the process.

    Organelle Involved in ATP Production

    • The mitochondrion is the key organelle directly involved in ATP production, housing the electron transport chain and ATP synthase essential for generating ATP through chemiosmosis.
