4. ATP Flashcards
1
Q
ATP is the
A
immediate source of energy for a cell
2
Q
structure of ATP
A
nucleotide base adenine
ribose sugar
3 phosphate groups
3
Q
once made ATP
A
diffuses to part of cell where its needed
4
Q
energy in ATP is stored in
A
high energy bonds between phosphate groups
5
Q
ATP broken down
A
ADP + pi
hydrolysis (energy released)
ATP hydrolase
Pi can be added to another compound (phosphorylation) making it more reactive
energy released can be coupled to other energy requiring reactions
6
Q
ATP made
A
ADP + Pi
condensation (energy used)
ATP synthase
