ENERGY
TRUE OR FALSE
Adenosine Triphosphate provides a form of energy that is usable by all cells.
TRUE
ATP is ‘earned’ through which type of reaction?
CATABOLIC REACTIONS
ATP is ‘spent’ through which type of reaction?
ANABOLIC REACTIONS
Name as many functions as you can, of the energy from splitting ATP.
MUSCLE CONTRACTION \+ CELL DIVISION \+ MOVEMENT of some SUBSTANCES ACROSS CELL MEMBRANES \+ MAKING LARGE MOLECULES OUT OF SMALL ONES
When complex molecules and polymers are split apart (catabolism) some of the energy is transferred to form ATP, and the rest is given off as what?
HEAT
To get the energy needed to perform various functions, ATP is ___________ which releases energy.
