ATP Flashcards
1
Q
What processes does ATP provide energy for?
A
-Muscle contraction for movement
-Cell division
-Nerve impulses
-Synthesising proteins
2
Q
What is an anabolic reaction?
A
A reaction which builds up large molecules from small molecules and require energy, e.g. protein synthesis
3
Q
What is a catabolic reaction?
A
A reaction that breaks down large molecules into smaller molecules and release energy, e.g. respiration
4
Q
In what type of reaction is ATP produced?
A
Catabolic reactions e.g. respiration
5
Q
What is phosphorylation?
A
The build up of ATP which is controlled by enzymes
