1
Q

Why is glucose not a good immediate energy source for a cell?

A
  • Stable so energy is released slowly.
  • Large amount of energy released - difficult to manage.
  • Many reactions required to release energy.

Q

What does ATP stand for?

A

Adenosine Triphosphate

17
Q

How is ATP suited to its function as an immediate source of energy for a cell?

A
  • It’s instability means energy can be released quickly.
  • ATP is rapidly reformed from ADP.
  • Small amount of energy released so easy to manage.
  • Only a single hydrolysis reaction tak place for energy release.
18
Q

Energy from respiration takes the form of what?

A

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

19
Q

What does ADP stand for?

A

Adenosine Diphosphate

20
Q

Can ATP be stored in the body?

A

No - it is rapidly used so the body must constantly reform it.

21
Q

If an inorganic phosphate molecule is added to ADP during photosynthesis we call this…

A

Photophosphorylation

22
Q

What type of reaction is: ADP + Pi + Energy –> ATP + Water

A

Condensation Reaction

23
Q

Which energy requiring process does the body use ATP for?

A
  • Metabolic processes - making polypeptides form amino acids.
  • Movement - muscle contraction.
  • Active Transport - changing the shape of carrier proteins in cell membranes to move molecules against concentration gradients.
  • Secretion - to form lysosomes so cells can secrete.
  • Activation of Molecules - Phosphates from ATP can be used to phosphorylate other molecules to activate them.
24
Q

Which enzyme is required to catalyse the condensation reaction of ADP + Inorganic phosphate into ATP?

A

ATP Synthase

25
Q

What doe Pi stand for?

A

Inorganic phosphate molecule

26
Q

How is ATP resynthesised in cells?

A

from ADP and phosphate

using ATP synthase

during respiration

27
Q

Give 2 ways the hydrolysis of ATP is used in cells?

A
  1. to provide energy for other reactions
  2. to add a phosphate onto molecules - making them more reactive
28
Q

Give 2 ways ATP is suitable energy source for cells to use?

A
  1. Releases relatively small amount of energy / little energy lost as heat;
  2. Releases energy instantaneously;
  3. Phosphorylates other compounds, making them more reactive;
  4. Can be rapidly re-synthesised;
  5. Is not lost from/does not leave cells;
29
Q

state and explain a property of water that can help it buffer temp changes

A
  1. high specific heat capacity
  2. can gain or lose a lot of heat without changing temp
  3. takes a lot of heat to change the temp
30
Q

name 2 products of ATP hydrolysis

A

adenosine diphosphate and phosphate (ADP)

31
Q

atp

A

A single molecule of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a nucleotide derivative and is formed from a molecule of ribose, a molecule of adenine and three phosphate groups.Hydrolysis of ATP to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and an inorganic phosphate group (P) is catalysed by the ATP hydrolase.The hydrolysis of ATP can be coupled to energy-requiring reactions within cells.The inorganic phosphate released during the hydrolysis of ATP can be used to phosphorylate other compounds, often making them more reactive.ATP is resynthesised by the condensation of ADP and Pi. This reaction is catalysed by the enzyme ATP synthase during photosynthesis, or during respiration.
