3.1.6 And 3.1.8 ATP And InOrganics Flashcards
ATP is formed from :
Ribose
Adenine
3 phosphate groups
What type of reaction re synthathasiyses atp
Condensation
ATP is catalysed by what enzyme
ATP synthase
Give the chemical equation for photosynthasis
6O2 + 6CO2 —-> C6H12O6 + 6O2
How many atp molecules does one glucose molecule make
25 atp
Why is atp often described as the universal energy currency for organisms
Because all organisms from bacteria to humans use atp
What type of molecule is atp
Purine nucleiobase
Together what are adenine and ribose referred as
Adenosine
What is the role of kreitin
Speeds up the recycling process of atp
Where is glycogen stored
In the liver and muscle
What are the three main things you have to know about atp
ATP is soluable and its last phosphate group is very unstable
Short term energy
Cell does not store too much atp at once
Why is glucose not used instead of atp
Glucose would release too much energy burning up the cell
