**Questions:** 1. What is meant by phosphorylation? The addition of a phosphate group. ADP+P giving ATP, with water as a byproduct. 2. Write a word equation for ATP production: ADP+P+Energy=ATP+ H2O 3. What is an advantage of ATP as an energy source? It is reusable 4. What is NADH? It is a high energy molecule used to transfer high energy electrons which will be used to produce ATP in the electron transport system. 5. What is the full name of NADH? Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide 6. What is NADPH? NADPH is a high energy molecule used to transfer electrons and a H+ ion in plants to the Calvin Cycle to be used in making glucose. 7. What is the full name of NADPH? Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate 8. Write a word equation for NADH production: NAD++H++2e-=NADH  9. Write a word equation for NADPH production: NADP++H++ 2e-=NADPH
