2.3 ATP Flashcards
What hydrolyses ATP?
Hydralayse ATP
What is the equation that ATP undergoes to become ADP?
ATP+H20-ADP+Pi+Energy
Are bonds between the phosphates in ATP strong or weak and why is this useful?
Weak
So energy can be gained quickly
What is ATP synthesis used in?
Photosynthises
Respiration
Catalyse reactions
What is the process of ATP synthesis called in chloroplasts, mitochondria and animal and plant cells?
Photophosphorylation in chloroplasts
Oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria
Substrate level phosphorylation in animal and plant cells
What are the advantages of ATP?
Instant release
Universal energy carrier
Energy in small amounts
Transports chemical energy
What adds phosphates to proteins?
Kinase
What is ATP made of?
Nitrogenous Adenine
Ribose
Inorganic phosphates
