ATP is formed by the electron transportation chain and ATP synthase |
ATP is formed by ATP synthase during - oxidative phosphorylation - The oxidative phosphorylation is a process that occur at mitochondrial inner membrane in which electrons are carried through a series of electron carries and protons are pumped into inner membrane space. This proton gradient is used to synthesize ATP.
In substrate-level phosphorylation - ATP is formed from ADP and inorganic phosphate by an enzyme - The synthesis of ATP that occurs in metabolic reactions and not involving electron carriers is called substrate level phosphorylation, because a substrate having high energy is brought to low energy by an enzyme and the released energy is used to produce ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
