ATP energy

Question 1

What is the overall reaction or Cellular Respiation

Answer 1

C6H1206 + 602 —> 6Co2 + 6H20

Question 2

what does ATP consist of

Answer 2

Adenine,Ribose and phosphate groups

Question 3

Phosphorylation

and why?

Answer 3

the process of attaching a phosphate group to an organic molecule

this occurs because it makes them unstable and thus more likely to react.

its said to “activate” the molecule

Question 4

What is ADP

Answer 4

an ATP with one less phosphate group (dead battery)

Question 5

When stored energy is needed what reaction happens

Answer 5

ATP + H20 —> ADP + Pi

Question 6

Methods of Making ATP
and examples

Answer 6

Substrate level phosphorylation
—-> ATP formed directly in the enzyme catalyzed reaction. phosphate containing compounds transfers a phosphate group directly to ADP forming ATP
Glycolysis  2 ATP
kreb cycle

Oxidative phosphorylation
formed indirectly by a series of redox reaction with oxygen being the final reactor (yields a lot more ATP)

In Electron Transport Chain  32 ATP

Question 7

Anaerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration

Answer 7

Anaerobic resperation- incomplete breakdown of organic molecules for a small yeild of ATP (no oxygen required)

Aerobic respiration
complete breakdown of organic molecules for a larger yield of ATP

the breakdown happens of organic molecules occur via a number of linked processes that involve a # of steps.

Question 8

explain the methods of making ATP energy

Answer 8

Substrate-Level Phosphorylation
ATP is formed in enzyme catalyzed reaction, then a phosphate containing compound transfers a phosphate group directly to ADP forming ATP
Oxidative Phosphorylation
ATP is formed indirectly by a series of redox reactions with Oxygen being final reactor (yields a lot more ATP then substrate level phosphorylation)
