ATP splitting

Question 1

What is ATP made up of

Answer 1

A phosphate made up of 1 molecule of adenosine and 3 phosphate

Question 2

What does the end bond of the compounds have?

Answer 2

Potential energy

Question 3

What happens when a compound is broken?

Answer 3

Energy is released, the only energy our body understands to do work

Question 4

What does A-P-P-P stand for?

Answer 4

Triphosphate as there are 3 phosphates

Question 5

What breaks down the compound to release energy?

Answer 5

Enzymes (ATP-EASE)

Question 6

When one phosphate is lost what does it become?

Answer 6

Diphosphate

Question 7

What is the equation for this. ATP splitting?

Answer 7

ATP ADP+pi + energy

Question 8

What reaction is this process that is the initial splitting

Answer 8

Exothermic

Question 9

What is an exothermic reaction?

Answer 9

A reaction that releases energy

Question 10

What is energy that is released broken down into?

Answer 10

Kinetic and heat energy

Question 11

How long does ATP stores last for?

Answer 11

2 seconds an explosive action

Question 12

Is ATP a reversible action?

Answer 12

Yes

Question 13

How is energy restored?

Answer 13

ATP can be re-sythesised

Question 14

What reaction is re-sythesising?

Answer 14

Endothermic, takes energy in, needs energy

Question 15

What is the equation for re-sythesising?

Answer 15

ADP + pi + energy (synthesis) = ATP

Question 16

What is needed to restore phosphate bond?

Answer 16

Energy, different to splitting process

Question 17

Where does the new energy come from?

Answer 17

Food sources e.g. 
Proteins 
Carbohydrates (glucose/glycogen) 
Fats
Phosphate creatin

Question 18

What are the 3 energy systems?

Answer 18

ATP -PC system
Lactic acid system
Aerobic system

Question 19

What is selection of energy systems dependent on?

Answer 19

Intensity and duration
