Formation of ATP in Organisms: 2 Ways
Article shared by :
This article throws light upon the two ways used for the formations of ATP in organisms. The ways are: 1. Substrate-Level Phosphorylation 2. Electron Transport Phosphorylation Way # 1. Substrate-Level Phosphorylation: Substrate-level phsophorylation is most significant in anaerobes, and yields of ATP are low. Consequently production of biomass is low and the production of fermentation […]
