Sheep can also bloat on grains; recommended treatments for both grain and frothy (pasture) bloat are not the same. You can buy a commercial bloat guard to keep on hand to administer orally to the sheep in an emergency.
ATP is remarkable for its ability to enter into many coupled reactions, both those to food to extract energy and with the reactions in other physiological processes to provide energy to them. In animal systems, the ATP can be synthesized in the process of glycolysis in which there is a net production of two ATP molecules in a cycle. This glycolysis is a major step in anaerobic respiration.
October 21, 2007. Mad Scientist Dreams: Chloroplasts in Animal Cells. So animals cells need the universal energy currency ATP just like plant cells. We animals get our ATP from the catabolic processing of carbohydrates and fats. Which is really, really cool, as I will go over in another post. Plants, as every 3rd grader learns, use chloroplasts to generate high energy electrons (in the form of NADPH) which are then used to make ATP through oxidative phosphorlation.
