Ch 5&6 Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration Flashcards
How does apt release energy ?
Releases energy stored in high energy chemical bond by removing the phosphate and becoming ADP
For what do cells use energy
Active transport
Endocytosis
Exocytosis
NA+ - k+ pump
How do cells store energy
Adding the phosphate back on to ADP to make ATP
What is ATP good & not good for?
Great for transferring energy
Not good for storing large amounts of energy for the cell
How do cells recharge ATP ?
By burning it
Only keep enough to last a few seconds
What does ADP stand for ?
Adenosine diphosphate
What does ATP stand for ?
Adenosine triphosphate
Cells use ATP to store and release energy, 3 phosphate groups
