MP2 Summative 2 Flashcards
What do animals obtain their energy from?
The environment
What do plants obtain their energy from?
The sun
Human’s energy is stored in the what of molecules?
Chemical bonds
What is the molecule of cellular energy known as?
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
What is ATP composed of?
An adenosine molecule with three phosphate groups attatched
Are phosphate groups polar or nonpolar?
Polar and have a charge
Particles with like charges do not like to what which therefore causes for what to be needed?
Be next to eachother therefore a tremendous amount of energy is needed to keep the molecule of ATP bonded together
Cellular energy comes from what different energy levels?
Adenosine monophosphate (AMP)
Adenosine diphosphate (ADP)
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
What are cellular energy levels determined by?
The number of phosphates attatched to the adenosine molecule
How many phosphate groups does each energy level have?
AMP: one
ADP: two
ATP: three
When does the energy of ATP become availible?
When the ATP molecule is broken down
What happens when the phosphate bonds between the second and third phosphate groups are broken?
Energy is released and an ADP molecule is leftover
ATP is a what resource?
Renewable
How can ADP form ATP again?
By bonding with another phosphate group
For every one molecule of gluecose how much total ATP is made? How much can be kept?
Four
Two
