? can be used to make ATP but it cannot release energy directly.
ATP is synthesised from?, a molecule with?
This process is known as? and the effect is to make the molecule with the extra phosphate (ATP)?
The synthesis of ATP involves?
When the terminal (third) phosphate is subsequently removed from ATP?

A

ATP is? adenosine triphosphate, and as the name suggests has ? 3 phosphate groups combined with the nucleotide base adenine and a ribose sugar.
It is the presence of the phosphate groups that provides? ATP with its energy-releasing properties
ATP is the? Immediate source of energy ,In a cell, a very? short-term store.
It is the? ATP, that drives metabolism.
Glucose? can be used to make ATP but it cannot release energy directly.
ATP is synthesised from? ADP (adenosine diphosphate), a molecule with? 2 phosphate groups and inorganic phosphate (Pi)
This process is known as? phosphorylation (the addition of phosphate to a molecule) and the effect is to make the molecule with the extra phosphate (ATP) more energy rich.
The synthesis of ATP involves? condensation with the removal of a water molecule.
When the terminal (third) phosphate is subsequently removed from ATP? energy is released.
The breakdown of ATP (to ADP and inorganic phosphate with the release of energy) involves hydrolysis- the splitting of a molecule using water.
The reaction is catalysed by the? enzyme ATPase.
