Bio-energetic and Metabolism

1. Biochemistry Lecture GBSN (Unit 9 ) Bio-energetic and Metabolism by, Miss Areesha Ahmad Lecturer

2. Photosynthesis is  the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar .

3. Cellular respiration is  a series of chemical reactions that break down glucose to produce ATP , which may be used as energy to power many reactions throughout the body. 

4. The energy from sunlight drives the synthesis of ATP as well as the production of oxygen from water.

5. Oxidative phosphorylation: I t's a series of oxidation-reduction reactions that use enzymes to oxidize nutrients and release chemical energy to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

6. H +  = Proton

7. Oxidation is the loss of electrons during a reaction by a molecule, atom or ion Proton gradient : free-energy change to pump H +  across the inner membrane Cation + Anion -
