Types of Phosphorylation definitions Flashcards

A process that produces ATP using oxygen, involving multiple stages including oxidative phosphorylation.

A molecule that stores and transfers energy within cells, produced in large amounts during oxidative phosphorylation.

A type of phosphorylation that directly generates ATP by transferring a phosphate group to ADP.

A process in aerobic respiration that produces ATP using energy from redox reactions in the electron transport chain.

A series of protein complexes that facilitate redox reactions to create a hydrogen ion gradient for ATP production.

The movement of hydrogen ions across a membrane, down their gradient, to drive ATP synthesis.

Chemical reactions involving the transfer of electrons, crucial for energy generation in the electron transport chain.

A concentration difference of hydrogen ions across a membrane, used to power ATP synthesis in chemiosmosis.

A molecule that is phosphorylated to form ATP during oxidative phosphorylation.

The first stage of aerobic respiration, breaking down glucose into pyruvate, not directly involved in oxidative phosphorylation.

A stage in aerobic respiration converting pyruvate into acetyl-CoA, preceding the Krebs Cycle.

A series of reactions generating electron carriers for the electron transport chain, preceding oxidative phosphorylation.
