ATP Flashcards
1
Q
What is ATP formed from?
A
A molecule of ribose, a molecule of adenine and 3 phosphate groups.
2
Q
Draw an ATP molecule:
A
ATP molecule
3
Q
What is the hydrolysis reaction of ATP?
A
ATP + H20 —> ADP + Pi
4
Q
Which enzyme catalyses the hydrolysis of ATP?
A
ATP hydrolase
5
Q
What can ATP hydrolysis be coupled to?
A
Energy requiring reactions in the cell because the energy can be directly used from the hydrolysis of ATP.
6
Q
How can the inorganic phosphate group be used after release in ATP hydrolysis?
A
For phosphorylation, often making compounds more reactive.
7
Q
What is the condensation reaction to form ATP?
A
ADP + Pi —> ATP
8
Q
What enzyme catalyses the formation of ATP and during which reactions?
A
ATP synthase and during respiration or photsynthesis.
