1
Q

What happens during resperation

A

The energy stored in glucose isnt released directly. Instead the energy released is used to form ATP.

Q

What are the differences between DNA and ATP

A

DNA doesn’t always have adenine whereas ATP always does
DNA only has 1 phospate group however ATP has 3
DNA has deoxyribose sugar however ATP has ribose sugar

Q

Where is the energy stored in

A

The energy released from ATP is stored in the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate
When the bond in hydrolysed then energy is released

Q

What is the chemical reaction for making ATP

A

ADP+Pi–>ATP+H20

17
Q

Why is ATP used in many biological processes

A

Energy is released in small usuable amounts
Adds phosphate to molecules to make them more reactive lowering activation energy
Involves a single step reaction to release energy

18
Q

When glucose is respired what happens to the energy when not incorporated into ATP

A

its released as heat

19
Q

Give 2 ways in which the hydrolysis of ATP is used in cells

A

To provide energy for other reactions
To phosphorylate other compounds to make them more reactive

19
Q

Describe how ATP is resynthesised into cells

A

From ADP and phosphate by ATP synthase during respiration or photosynthesis

20
Q

Give 2 functions of ATP

A

To bind the amino acids to tRNA
To bind amino acids to one another.
