energy and ATP

Question 1

What is the structure of ATP

Answer 1

Adenine
Ribose
Phosphates

Question 2

How does atp store energy

Answer 2

The bonds between the phosphate groups are weak and unstable and so there is a low activation energy and when there broken they release a considerable amount off energy

Question 3

What is the equation for atp releasing energy

Answer 3

ATP + H20 ~> ADP + P + E
(adenosie. (Inorganic (energy)
Diphosphate.) Phosphate)

Question 4

How is atp synthesised

Answer 4

ATP to ADP is a reversible so ATP can be made from ADP this reaction is catalysed by the enzyme ATP synthase this is a condensation reaction. ATP involves the addition of a phosphate molecule

Question 5

What are the roles that of ATP

Answer 5

As a energy donor that is instantaneous and that’s why it’s not a good long term energy store
Metabolic processes
Movement
Active transport
Secretion
Activation of molecules
