Chapter 21, Problem 21.41AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given events in catabolic process namely electron transport, digestion, oxidative phosphorylation and citric acid cycle should be arranged in correct order.

Concept Introduction:

Electron transport chain: The series of pathway where the electron gets passed from reduced coenzymes to the oxygen which gets finally coupled resulting in formation of $ATP$.

Oxidative phosphorylation: The production of $ATP$ from $ADP$ by utilizing energy released from the electron transport chain.  The $ADP$ to $ATP$ conversion consists of both the oxidation and phosphorylation.

Citric Acid Cycle: It involves 8 series reaction which converts acetyl group present in acetyl coenzyme A into 2 $C{O}_2$ molecules.

Digestion: It is the process of larger consumed food particles into smaller that processed and results as lipids, carbohydrates and proteins.
