Coupled Reactions

The video explains the concept of coupled reactions, using analogies like a water wheel to illustrate how energy transfer occurs in biological systems. It covers the role of ATP in energy transfer, the process of photosynthesis, and cellular respiration, highlighting the importance of coupled reactions in these processes. The video also delves into redox reactions, explaining electron transfer and the concept of oxidation and reduction, using the mnemonic 'oil rig' to aid understanding.
