Detailed explanation-1: -Phosphorylation can stimulate or inhibit the function of the molecule it attaches to and is therefore an essential control mechanism for the cell. Such a conformational change is often stimulatory, but can also be inhibitory. Kinases are the enzymes that transfer a phosphate group to a molecule.
Detailed explanation-2: -Oxidative phosphorylation can be broken down into two parts: 1) Oxidation of NADH and FADH 2start text, end text, start subscript, 2, end subscript, and 2) Phosphorylation.
Detailed explanation-3: -ATP is also synthesized by substrate-level phosphorylation during glycolysis. ATP is synthesized at the expense of solar energy by photophosphorylation in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -Oxidative phosphorylation is the metabolic pathway in which electrons are transferred from electron donors to electron acceptors in redox reactions; this series of reactions releases energy which is used to form ATP.
