ATP

Question 1

why is energy important

Answer 1

plants and animals need energy for biological processes to occur

Question 2

what does ATP stand for

Answer 2

adenosine triphosphate

Question 3

what happens in respiration to ATP

Answer 3

the energy released from glucose is used to make ATP in respiration

Question 4

what is ATP made from

Answer 4

adenine base , ribose sugar and three phosphate groups

Question 5

what happens when energy is needed by a cell

Answer 5

ATP is broken down into ADP and Pi This is a hydrolysis reaction, a phosphate bond is broken and energy is released the enzyme that catalyses this is ATP hydrolase

Question 6

what is the enzyme that catalyses ATP being broken down

Answer 6

ATP hydrolase

Question 7

what does ADP stand for

Answer 7

adenosine diphosphate

Question 8

what does Po stand for

Answer 8

inorganic phosphate

Question 9

what bond is broken in ATP to ADP +Pi that releases energy

Answer 9

Pi (inorganic phosphate)

Question 10

the release of the inorganic phosphate can be put to use and added to another compound what is this called

Answer 10

phosphorylation

Question 11

what catalyses the reaction of ADP+Pi to make ATP

Answer 11

ATP synthase
