ATP AS Flashcards
1
Q
ADP+Pi ->
A
ATP
2
Q
reaction which releases energy from ATP
A
hydrolysis
3
Q
what enzyme catalyses the hydrolysis of ATP?
A
ATP hydrolase
4
Q
what is the phosphate from ATP used for in the body
A
making things more reactive (phosphorylating) e.g. in respiration
5
Q
reaction to form ATP from ADP and Pi
A
condensation reaction
6
Q
what enzyme catalyses the condensation of ATP?
A
ATP synthase
7
Q
adaptations of ATP
A
releases energy in small suitable amount broken down in one step makes energy available rapidly lowers activation reaction by phosphorylating can be reformed
8
Q
Difference between ATP and DNA nucleotide
A
ATP has ribose DNA has deoxyribose
ATP has 3 phosphate groups DNA nucleotide has 1 phosphate group
ATP always has adenine base DNA it varies
