ATP

Question 1

ATP

Answer 1

Nucleotide derivative
Phosphorylase macromolecule
Adenine, ribose, 3 phosphates

Question 2

How does ATP store energy

Answer 2

Phosphate group bonds have reduced AE, unstable, easily broken
Release lots of energy in hydrolysis
Catalysed by ATP hydrolase

Question 3

2 phosphates

Answer 3

Adenosine diphosphate

Question 4

1 phosphate

Answer 4

Adenosine monophosphate

Question 5

Synthesis of ATP

Answer 5

Catalysed by ATP synthase
Condensation
Involves addition of phosphate
Photophosphorylation
Oxidative phosphorylation
Substrate level phosphorylation

Question 6

Photophosphorylation

Answer 6

During photosynthesis in chlorophyll containing plant cells

Question 7

Oxidative phosphorylation

Answer 7

During resp, plant animal cells

Question 8

Substrate level phosphorylation

Answer 8

Phosphate group transferred from reactive donor molecule to ADT in plants, animals

Question 9

Roles of ATP

Answer 9

Immediate energy source
Not stored in large amounts
Release small amounts of energy when hydrolysed
Continuously made in mitochondria

Question 10

Uses of ATP

Answer 10

Metabolic process, build up of macromolecules
Movement, muscle contraction
Active transport, change carrier protein shape
Secretion, lysosomes formation
Activation of molecules, Pi used to phosphorylation other compounds, make them more reactive, lower AE in enzymes reactions
