3.11 ATP

Question 1

Why do cells need energy

Answer 1

For synthesis, transport, movement

Question 2

Which molecule is able to supply energy for synthesis, movement, transport?

Answer 2

ATP ( adenosine tryposphate)

Question 3

What does ATP molecule consist of

Answer 3

3 phosphate groups, nitrogenous base, Penrose sugar

Question 4

What kind of reaction does ATO go to remove a phosphate and provide energy

Answer 4

Hydrolysis

Question 5

What is produced in the hydrolysis reaction of ATP

Answer 5

Energy, ADO, inorganic phosphate

Question 6

Why is ATO a good immediate storage

Answer 6

Cells do not need a large store of it as ATP->ADP is constantly happening

Question 7

What are the properties of ATP

Answer 7

Small(moves easily)
Water soluble ( energy requiring processes happen in all aqueous solutions)
Contains bonds between phosphate with
intermediate energy
Releases energy in small quantities (suitable )
Easily regenerated
