Quarter 2 Week 1 Flashcards
The fuel for the different functions like active transport across the membrane, protein synthesis, and cell division.
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
It also called as the main energy “currency” of the cell.
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
It is nucleotide made up of an organic molecule adenosine, plus a tail of the 3phosphate groups.
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
The broken down of ATP to ADP and releases energy.
Hydrolysis
During _______ water is split, or lysed and the resulting hydrogen atom (H+) and a hydroxyl group (OH-) are added to the larger molecule.
Hydrolysis
The bonds between the phosphate groups in ATP are called ______. These bonds are so called “high energy” which means that an appreciable amount of energy is released when one of these bonds are broken by hydrolysis.
Phosphoanhydride bonds.
ATP is regenerated from ADP in the mitochondrion process. ADP regenerated ATP.
Oxidative phosphorylation
The transfer of energy from one reaction to another in order to drive the second reaction.
Energy coupling.
ATP synthesis requires energy, it is driven by hydrolysis of ATP. It receive or consumes energy.
Endergonic reactions. (Anabolism)
ATP hydrolysis releases energy, it drive the formation of ATP. It releases free energy.
Exergonic. (Catabolism)
Carrier of energy.
