Which is an example of chemical to electromagnetic energy conversion that occurs in living organisms?(a) ATP-driven muscle contraction(b) ATP-dependent photon emission in fireflies(c) light-induced electron flow in chloroplasts(d) ATP-driven active transport across a membraneThe question was posed to me during an interview for a job.The doubt is from Phosphoryl Group Transfers and ATP in division Principles of Bioenergetics and Glycolysis of Biochemistry

Answer»

Correct choice is (b) ATP-dependent photon emission in fireflies

For explanation I would say: ATP-driven MUSCLE contraction is an example for CHEMICAL to mechanical energy CONVERSION.

Light-induced electron flow in chloroplasts is an example for electromagnetic to electrical energy conversion.

ATP-driven active TRANSPORT across a membrane is an example for chemical to OSMOTIC energy conversion.
