Name two energy-rich molecules that can be fed into the respiration pathway to make ATP.
Fig. 1.1 shows a molecule of ATP. Explain the properties of ATP that make it suitable as the universal energy currency of cells.
Identify the type of phosphorylation reaction used to synthesise ATP in glycolysis and the Krebs cycle.
Pyruvate moves into the matrix of the mitochondrion only when a particular inorganic molecule is present. Name the inorganic molecule that must be present in the cell for pyruvate to enter the matrix of the mitochondrion.
Explain how the presence of the inorganic molecule named in (d)(i) changes the ATP yield from respiration.
