Botany - Respiration in Plants Question with Solution | TestHub

The powerhouse of the eukaryotic cell is mitochondria. The formation of ATP directly in the metabolic reaction is called substrate-level phosphorylation or transphosphorylation. It occurs when succinyl CoA is converted to succinic acid in Kreb's cycle, thus producing 1 ATP. The energy of oxidation and reduction is utilized form formation of ATP during an electron transport system this is called oxidative phosphorylation. Maximum ATP is generated through oxidative phosphorylation.
