1
Q
What is atp made of?
A
ADP+ PI =ATP
2
Q
How does atp release energy?
A
In hydrolysis reactions which are catalysed by enzyme atp hydrolase
3
Q
What is needed to reform atp?
A
Energy in a condensation reaction
4
Q
What enzyme is atp reformed by?
A
Atp synthase during respiration
5
Q
Why is atp useful?
A
Releases energy in small useful amounts, makes energy available rapidly, lowers activation energy and can be reformed again
