ATP can be synthesized from ADP and Pi by ATP synthase enzyme. The enzyme is powered by a proton gradient which the cell must maintain. ATP can also by synthesized by substrate level phosphorylation or substrate linked synthesis. It is made from the breaking of molecules.

How many ATP are created in the ETC?

Approximately 34 molecules of ATP are produced during oxidative phosphorylation in the electron transport chain. Each NADH molecule yields about 3 ATP, while each FADH2 molecule yields about 2 ATP.


What enzyme is responsible for synthesizing ATP?

The enzyme is ATP synthase (sometimes referred to as "ATP synthetase").It catalyzes the synthesis of ATP from ADP and free inorganic phosphate. It is a remarkable enzyme, part of which spins round. In fact, ATP synthase has been called a molecular machine.To see an image, use the link below.


The total number of ATP molecules created in glycolysis is?

4-2=2 net gain ATPs. 4 are produced and 2 are consumed during the process.


What is the purpose of the ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions of photosynthesis?

ATP isn't created during the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis merely creates glucose, which is afterwards consumed to create the ATP. This ATP, however, serves the purpose all ATP does in the body: energy that the cell can use.


How many ATP molecules could be made through substrate-level phosphorylation plus oxidative phosphorylation chemiosmosis if you started with three molecules of succinyl CoA and ended with oxaloaceta?

From one molecule of succinyl CoA, substrate-level phosphorylation generates 1 ATP, whereas oxidative phosphorylation chemiosmosis produces approximately 12 ATP. Therefore, for three molecules of succinyl CoA, a total of 39 ATP molecules could be produced (3 ATP from substrate-level phosphorylation and 36 ATP from oxidative phosphorylation chemiosmosis).
