Atp

Question 1

What kind of molecule is atp?

Answer 1

= an nucleotide deprivative
= adenosine triphosphate
= immediate source of energy for metabolusm and biological processes

Question 2

What is linked to the releasure of energy in atP?

Answer 2

= the 3 phosphate heads

Question 3

What is the structure of ATP?

Answer 3

components:
= adenine- nitrogen base
= ribose- pentose sugar
= 3 phosphate heads

Question 4

Where is atp made?

Answer 4

= during respiration from ADP
= condensation reaction- addition of an inorganic phosphate head
= enzyme- ATP synthase
=- takes small amount of energu

Question 5

How does ATP release energy?

Answer 5

= hydrolysed
= into ADP + PI
= by breaking one of the bonds between the inorganic phosphate group
= releases a small amount of energy to the surroundings used for chemical reactions
=USES ATP hydrolase

Question 6

How is atp an immediate source?

Answer 6

= only one bond has to be hydrolysed to release energu

Question 7

What is phosphorylation?

Answer 7

=transfer energy when the bond of an inroganic phosphate is hydrolysed it is released
= if the inorhanic phosphate that is broken off is bonded to a different compound- that compound will gain the energy and becomes more reactive
= *first stage of respiration

Question 8

What is the difference between ATP providing energy and glucose?

Answer 8

= ATP is immediate source of energy

Question 9

What is the first reason ATP is a managable source?

Answer 9

1: releases energy in small manageable amounts so no energy is wasted
= cells do not overheat from wasted energy
= less likley to run out of reasources

COMPARISON:
=glucose releases large amounts of energy that could result to wasted energy

Question 10

What is the second reason ATP is a managable source?

Answer 10

= small and soluable molecule
= easily transported around a cell
= common with glucose can move around cytoplasm

Question 11

What is the third reason ATP is a managable source?

Answer 11

= only one bond is broken/hydrolysed to release energy- immediate

COMPOUND:
= glucose would need several bonds- so takes much longer

Question 12

What is the fourth reason ATP is a managable source?

Answer 12

= phospholyration
=ATP can donate an inroganic phosphaye bonded to another molecule and make it more reavtibe
=cannot be done with glucpse

Question 13

What is the fith reason ATP is a managable source?

Answer 13

= ATP cannot pass out of the cell - the cell always has an immediate source of energy
= glucosde can
= no protein carriers atp can attach to
