2.3: ATP and inorganic ions Flashcards
ATP
Immediate source of energy in a cell
In respiration energy released from glucose
is used to make ATP
ATP
stand for
Adenosine triphosphate
ATP made from
nucleotide base adenine
ribose sugar
3 phosphate groups
ATP known as a
nucleotide derivative
nucleotide derivative
modified form of a nucleotide
ATP … after its made
diffuses to the part of the cell that needs energy
Energy in ATP stored
in high energy bonds between phosphate groups
Energy released by ATP
hydrolysis reaction
ADP
adenosine diphosphate
ATP broken down into
ADP and Pi
Pi
inorganic phosphate
ATP hydrolyse
Catalyses hydrolysis reaction of ATP into ADP, breaking a phosphate bond and releasing its energy
Coupled reaction
ATP hydrolysis coupled to other energy requiring reaction so energy can be used directly and not lost as heat energy
Phosphorylation
Addition of an inorganic phosphate to a compound making the compound more reactive
