Q2 Couple Reactions in ATP Flashcards
ATP means
Adenosine Triphosphate
ATP is really important because it serves as an energy carrrier, in cells it is responsible for moving the energy found in _____________ of our foods to the areas of the cell that need energy
chemical bonds
ATP is composed of
- Adenine
- Sugar ribose
- Three phosphate group
When energy is needed, the _________ phosphate group is removed in a process called ____________
- terminal
- hydrolysis
Hydrolysis releases energy and forming adenosine ___________
diphosphate
Later, at the mitochondrial level, ADP and __________ are recombined back into ATP recharging the energy pathways in the cell
phosphate
ATP Cycle
ATP ↝ ADP ↝ ATP
Coupled Reaction
Exergonic Reaction + Endergonic Reaction
Breaks chemical bonds of LARGE reactants and produces SMALLER products (it RELEASES energy)
Exergonic Reaction
Forms chemical bonds of SMALLER reactants and produces LARGE products (it ABSORBS energy)
Endergonic Reaction
Which reaction is this
ATP ↝ ADP + P
Exergonic Reaction
Which reaction is this
ADP + P ↝ ATP
Endergonic Reaction
