3.1 ATP

Question 1

universal energy currency

Answer 1

used as a source of energy in all cells for all chemical reactions in all living organisms

Question 2

energy

Answer 2

the ability to do work

Question 3

ATP structure

Answer 3

3 phosphate groups ribose sugar and adenine
atp is hydrolysed by atpase to release 30.6kj energy

Question 4

synthesis of atp from adp

Answer 4

-photophosphorylation - during photosynthesis
-oxidative phosphorylation - in mitochondria
-substrate level phosphorylation - respiration

Question 5

Advantages of Atp

Answer 5

• only one enzyme (atpase) is needed- many are needed in glucose
• releases energy in small amounts
• atp->adp hydrolysis is a single reaction that releases immediate energy
