Q

the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level. Its structure is a nucleoside triphosphate, consisting of a nitrogenous base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three serially bonded phosphate groups.
- phosphorylated molecule
- the energy currency of the cell
- nucleotide
- energy carrier and energy production molecule

A

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

Q

how and where is ATP produced?

A
  • when plants break down the glucose they make
  • when animals break down the glucose they consume

(through cellular respiration, can be aerobic and anaerobic

  • mitochondria

Q

why is atp called the energy currency of the cell

A

it provides readily releasable energy in the bond between the second and third phosphate groups

  • stores energy and releases it when the body needs it

Q

_____________ have a large amount of
chemical energy. Whenever a bond holding
a phosphate is broken, a large amount of
usable cellular energy is released.

A

phosphates

17
Q
  • P - P - P

describe the amount of energy each bond

A

1st - a little bit of energy
2nd - some energy
3rd - a lot

A

1st - a little bit of energy
2nd - some energy
3rd - a lot of energy

19
Q

ATP-ADP Cycle reaction

A

ATP+H2O→ADP+Pi+ free energy (by breaking a phosphoanhydride bond in a process called hydrolysis, energy is released - exergonic)

ADP+Pi+free energy→ATP+H2O. (through phosphorylation and dehydration, energy is stored - endergonic)

20
Q

the reaction of an organic chemical with water to form two or more new substances and usually means the cleavage of chemical bonds by the addition of water

A

hydrolysis

21
Q

A biochemical process that involves the addition of phosphate to an organic compound.

A

phosphorylation

22
Q

endergonic vs. exergonic

A

Endergonic reactions require energy input to take simple, low energy reactants and build complex, high energy products. Exergonic reactions release the energy bound up in the reactants and yield simpler, low energy products

22
Q

how much ATP is produced every second

A

10 million

23
Q

structure of atp

A

nitrogenous base (adenine), 5 carbon ribose sugar, 3 phosphates
