Question

Write a short note on ATP formation.

Answer 1

Hint: It is the process of formation of energy that is required to perform various other plant processes that include the process of photosynthesis, respiration, etc. ATP is the source of energy that is mostly formed inside the mitochondria of the cell.

Complete answer
The formation of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) occurs by a process like photophosphorylation, which is the process that occurs during photosynthesis that converts light energy into ATP from ADP. The second process is the transfer of electrons via electron carriers that are present in the mitochondria which results in the formation of ATP, the process is called Oxidative phosphorylation. Lastly, the process in which the higher energy is converted into the lower energy for the formation of ATP is called substrate-level phosphorylation.

Additional Information
The ATP is formed with the help of the ATP synthase enzyme which is used during the process of photosynthesis.
The energy currency of the cell is called ATP that helps in the ongoing of various metabolic reactions that take place in a living organism during its life cycle.
During the oxidative phosphorylation process, the ATP is formed by the oxidation of various nutrients that produce chemical energy.
The oxidative phosphorylation occurs inside the mitochondria that have electron carriers in their inner membrane.
In comparison to other processes, the substrate-level phosphorylation produces fewer ATP molecules that are not present in the electron carriers of the mitochondria.
The conversion of ADP into ATP occurs with the help of an enzyme called the ATP synthase that is present in the mitochondrial and chloroplast inner membranes.
Chemiosmosis is the process by which the formation of ATP from ADP takes place.

Note:
The production of ATP during respiration is called oxidative phosphorylation. Through oxygen and glucose, ATP is at last made through the phosphorylation of ADP. In aerobic respiration, 38 ATP particles are framed per glucose molecule. Since chemiosmosis plays a task within the creation of ATP during this process, without chemiosmosis, organisms wouldn't be ready to produce the energy that they have to measure.
