Question : Whena substrate is beingmetabolized, why does not all the energy that is produced get released in one step. It isreleased in multiple steps. Whatis theadvantage of step-wise release ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :The PROCESS of aerobic respiration is distributed in foursteps GlycolysiS,TCA cycle, ETSand oxidative phosphorylation.
The formation of ATP OCCURS in respirationstep by step ineach step.
The product of one reactant is theprocess for other process. Thusentryof SUBSTANCES or break downof substances is based onrequirementof ATP. That wholeprocess is catalysid by enzymesthusreleasingof energyin SEQUENCE that makes thatprocess more work efficient. So eitherenergy is released orstored.
