Introduction to Bioenergetics
LO 1-
• Cells convert potential energy (energy that has not yet been
used), usually in the form of covalent bonds between carbon
atoms or in the form of ATP molecules, into kinetic energy
(energy in use) to accomplish cell division, growth,
biosynthesis, active transport and all other processes that
need energy.

Overview of Metabolism
LO 3-
• It is adenosine triphosphate, a
nucleotide formed of adenine,
ribose and 3 inorganic
phosphates.

ATP
ATP production
A. Oxidative phosphorylation:
The electrons produced by oxidation of
foodstuffs are transferred through the
ETC to react finally with oxygen and the
produced energy is utilized for ATP
synthesis.
B. Substrate level phosphorylation
ATP can be formed by transferring the
high energy from substrates directly to
ADP.
ATP
ATP is formed at substrate levels from:
1. 1,3 diphosphoglycerate by
phosphoglycerate kinase (in glycolysis).
2. Phosphoenol pyruvate by pyruvate kinase
(in glycolysis).
3. Succinyl CoA by succinate thiokinase (in
citric acid cycle).
4. Creatine phosphate by creatine kinase
enzyme.
5. ADP by myokinase (adenyl kinase)
enzyme.
