Explain the four stages of biochemical energy production from food which are part of the typical metabolic pathways.

Many organisms are able to live in extremely cold or hot temperatures, for example, the thermophilic bacteria that live in the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park. Draw a figure representing the predicted activity curve for enzymes in bacteria found in these habitats.

With respect to cell metabolism, what is “energy coupling”? Give a very simple example.
