ATP

Question 1

What is the name of ATP

Answer 1

Adenosine Tri Phosphate

Question 2

What is the structure of ATP

Answer 2

Adenosine = nitrogenous base
Ribose = sugar
3 inorganic phosphate groups

Question 3

What is the name of ADP

Answer 3

Adenosine di phosphate

Question 4

How does ADP differ from ATP

Answer 4

ADP has only 2 inorganic phosphate groups whereas ATP has 3

Question 5

Where is ATP made

Answer 5

During respiration in the mitrochndi

Question 6

What reaction is used to create ATP

Answer 6

Condensation reaction

Question 7

What is the symbol equation of the creation ATP

Answer 7

ADP + Pi —> water + ATP

Question 8

What enzyme is used to create ATP

Answer 8

ATP synthase

Question 9

What reaction is used so that ATP can release energy

Answer 9

Hydrolysis reaction

Question 10

What is the symbol equation for the release of energy from ATP

Answer 10

ATP + water —> ADP + Pi

Question 11

What enzyme is used in the reaction to release energy from ATP

Answer 11

ATP hydrolase

Question 12

What are some functions of ATP

Answer 12

• immediate source of energy

- creates a small amount of energy

Question 13

What is phosphorylation

Answer 13

ATP can transfer energy when a bond is brocken due to hydrolysis so an inorganic phosphate group is released and bonds to a different compound making it more reactive

Question 14

Why is ATP a easily transported

Answer 14

Because its small and soluble

Question 15

Why can ATP always supply energy

Answer 15

As it cant pass out the cell

Question 16

Why is it a good thing that ATP releases energy is small, manageable amounts

Answer 16

No energy is wasted so it mean cells wont over heat due to wasted thermal energy and die a thermal death

Question 17

Why is ATP an immediate source of energy

Answer 17

Only 1 bond has to be hydrolysed to release energy

Question 18

What are some process that require ATP

Answer 18

• metabolic process
• movement
• active transport
• secretion
• activation of molecules
