OUTLINE THE ROLES OF THE COENZYMES NAD, FAD AND COENZYME A IN RESPIRATION

EXPLAIN THAT THE SYNTHESIS OF ATP IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN ON THE MEMBRANES OF MITOCHONDRIA AND CHLOROPLASTS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EXPLAIN THE RELATIVE ENERGY VALUES OF CARBOHYDRATE, LIPID AND PROTEIN AS RESPIRATORY SUBSTRATES AND EXPLAIN WHY LIPIDS ARE PARTICULARLY ENERGY-RICH
