Re: Cellular respiration questions..

... and the energy harvesting step produces 4 ATP. Totaling in a net gain of only 2 ATP. During the krebs cycle enzymes pass high energy PHOSPHATE to ADP, which results in ATP. Substrate-level ATP synthesis happens twice because the krebs cycle turns twice per glucose molecule. The pryruvic acid joins ...

Re: ATP ase vs. ADP ase

ATPases are a class of enzymes that catalyze the decomposition of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) into adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and a free phosphate ion. This dephosphorylation reaction releases energy, which the enzyme (in most cases) harnesses to drive other chemical reactions that ...
