Adenosine Triphosphate [ATP]

Question 1

ATP

adenosine triphosphate

Answer 1

• energy currency in living systems
• transferred from ATP exergonic reaction to cellular endergonic reactions

Question 2

ATP+H2O

FORMULA

catabolic // exergonic

Answer 2

ATP + H2O -> ATPase -> ADP + P + E

ATPase catalyzes hydrolysis - to remove phosphate group

ADP - adenosine diphosphate, P - phosphate group, E - energy

Question 3

ADP + P + E

FORMULA

anabolic // endergonic

Answer 3

ADP + P + E -> ATP synthase - >ATP + H2O

ATPsynthase catalyzes addition of P to ADP

ADP - adenosine diphosphate, P - phosphate group, E - energy

Question 4

where does ATP synthase get required activation energy from?

Answer 4

cellular respiration

Question 5

CELLULAR RESPIRATION

Answer 5

reaction that breakdowns glucose to provide ATP

Question 6

ANAEROBIC PHASE

CELLULAR RESPIRATION

Answer 6

O2 - NOT required

glucose -> pyruvic acid => 2 molecules of ATP

catabolic reation

Question 7

AEROBIC PHASE

CELLULAR RESPIRATION

Answer 7

O2 - required

glucose -> CO2 + H2O => 36/38 molecules of ATP

catabolic reation
