Question

In the respiratory process, energy is released and is used to synthesise energy rich molecules of ATP from ADP, thereby storing energy for future use. This process of output of these molecules in the aerobic phase is known as

• A. Krebs cycle
• B. Glycolysis
• C. Phosphorylation
• D. Ornithine cycle

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Phosphorylation

Oxidative phosphorylation is a metabolic pathway that uses the energy released by the oxidation of nutrients to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP). During oxidative phosphorylation, electrons are transferred from electron donors to electron acceptors such as oxygen, in redox reactions. These redox reactions release energy, which is used to form ATP.

So, the correct answer is option C.
