ATP Flashcards
What does ATP stand for
Adenosine triphosphate
What is the energy released from glucose in respiration for
Used to make atp
What is atp made out of
Nucleotide base adénine
Ribose sugar
Three phosphate groups
What is a nucleotide derivative
Modified form of a nucleotide
Where is the energy stored in atp
High energy bonds between the phosphate groups
How is the energy released
Through hydrolysis reaction
When energy is need by a cell what happens to atp
It is broken down into adp + p(I)
What does adp stand for
Adenosine diphosphate
What reaction breaks atp into adp
Hydrolysis
What does p(I) stand for
Inorganic phosphate
How is energy released through the hydrolysis reaction
A phosphate bond is broken
What does atp hydrolase do
Catalyse the reaction
Why do we need energy
MMMMPA
Metabolism Movement Maintenance (repair&divide) Maintenance (body temp) Production of substances Active transport
Why is atp important
It is released in small amounts Broken down in one step Energy is available rapidly Lowers activation energy Reforms
What reaction is atp resynthesised between adp and p(I)
Condensation
