Adenosine Triphosphate Flashcards
ATP stands for
Adenosine Triphosphate
ADP stands for
Adenosine Diphosphate
Molecule that serves as tool for different cellular activities
ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate
Stores energy until a cell needs it
ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate
Used to power most, if not all of a cell’s chemical activities
ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate
A nucleotide made up of an organic molecule adenosine, plus a group of the 3 phosphate groups
ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate
What do you call the bonds between the phosphate groups in ATP
Phosphoanhydride bonds
These bond are so called “high energy” bonds
Phosphoanhydride bonds
A process in which ATP is regenerated from ADP in the mitochondrion
Oxidative phosphorylation
During this process, an addition of a phosphate group to ADP regenerates ATP
Oxidative phosphorylation
drive the formation of ATP
Exergonic reactions
driven by hydrolysis of ATP.
Endergonic reactions
is the transfer of energy from one reaction to another in order to drive the second reaction.
Energy Coupling or Coupled Reaction
ATP is broken down through the means of ______
hydrolysis
The hydrolysis of ATP produces ______
ATP
How do cells make endergonic reactions happen?
by supplying them with free energy from exergonic reactions
How do cells make endergonic reactions happen?
by supplying them with free energy from exergonic reactions
This reaction is where energy is absorbed and is not spontaneous
endergonic reactions
This reactions is where energy is released and is spontaneous
exergonic reactions
How can ATP be restored?
by adding a phosphate group back to ADP
