Consider the metabolism of a chlorophyll-based phototroph.In oxidative phosphorylation during cell respiration,the source of energy is ______________ whereas in photophosphorylation the source of energy is ____________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In oxidative phosphorylation, the source of energy is highly reduced organic compounds, which are oxidized to release energy that is then used to generate ATP. In photophosphorylation, the source of energy is light, which is captured by chlorophyll and used to generate ATP and NADPH during photosynthesis.
