ATP-ADP Flashcards
What Is ATP?
Adenosine Triphosphate
What is ADP?
Adenosine Diphosphate
the compound used by living things to get cellular work done.
Adenosine Triphosphate
What do you mean by ‘cellular work’?
1) Cell Movement
2) Protein synthesis
3) Active Transport
Energy used by all cells
Adenosine TriPhosphate
Organic molecule containing high-energy phosphate bonds
Adenosine TriPhosphate
Chemical Structure of ATP
3 phosphate groups
Ribose Sugar
Adenine Base
It supplies YOU with Energy
ATP
JOB : Store and release energy
ATP
JOB- energy can be stored by adding another Phosphate.. and becoming
ATp
ADP
How Do We Get Energy From ATP?
By breaking the high- energy bonds between the last two phosphates in
ATP
What is the Process Called in ATP
HYDROLYSIS (Adding H,O)
What do you need to break down ATP
( ATP- ADP)
An enzyme ( ATPase)
What do you need to make ATP?
(ADP to ATP)
ATP Synthase
When is ATP Made in the Body?
During a Process called Cellular
Respiration
Cellular Respiration that takes place in both ___ and ___
Plants and Animals
What is the Process Called in ADP
Dehydration Synthesis
have 2 phosphate
ADP
Your body is constantly gleaning chemical energy from food molecules and transferring the energy to ATP by a process called…
Cellular Respiration
Plants are working during daylight hours to convert the light energy of the Sun into the chemical energy of ATP. This process is called…
Photosynthesis
Only photoautotrophs perform this process.
Photosynthesis
All living things perform this process in some form.
Cellular Respiration.
Make their own food
Autotrophs
Autotrophs
• with light –
• with chemicals –
• with light – photoautotrophs
• with chemicals – chemoautotrophs
Cannot make their own food
They get their energy by the foods
they eat
Heterotrophs
– most commonly broken down to make
ATP.
– not stored in large amounts
– up to 36 ATP from one glucose molecule
Carbohydrates
– store the most energy.
– 80% of energy in your body
– About 146 ATP from a triglyceride
Lipids
– least likely to be broken down to make ATP.
– amino acids not usually needed for energy
– about the same amount of energy as a carb.
