Lesson 1: ATP: Adenosine Triphosphate

Question 1

• is the chemical reactions in the body’s cells that change food into energy.
• Our bodies need this energy to do everything from moving to thinking to growing.
• Specific proteins in the body control the chemical reactions of metabolism.

Answer 1

Metabolism

Question 2

breaking down of large molecules to form small molecules. it releases sound and heat.

Answer 2

Catabolism

Question 2

the process by which the body utilizes the energy by the catabolism to synthesize complex molecules.

Answer 2

anabolism

Question 2

large molecules are broken down into small ones. energy is released.

Answer 2

catabolic/ catabolism

Question 3

• Energy currency of the cell
• made up of an organic molecule
  adenosine, plus a tail of 3 phosphate
  group

-It is the release of the phosphate at the
tip of the triphosphate that makes energy
available to working cells.

Answer 3

ATP

Question 3

small molecules are assembled into large ones. energy is required.

Answer 3

anabolic/anabolism

Question 4

1 ATP - 1P = ?

Answer 4

ADP (adenosine diphosphate)

Question 5

they act as tiny catalysts, facilitating chemical reactions in our bodies. they also help us to break down food, convert nutrients into energy, build and repair tissues.

Answer 5

enzymes
