Adenosine Triphosphate
- Properties
- Soluble
- Involves simple reaction
- Energy released in small amounts
- ADP + Pi +Energy ==> ATP
- Condensation
- Synthesis large amount of ATP
- ATP is unstable so it cannot be stored
- ATP only releases small amounts of energy
- ATP is needed for processes such as
glycolysis and active transport
- ATP + H20 ==> ADP + Pi + Energy
- Hydrolysis
- is an Immediate energy source
- Adding Phosphates
- Substrate level phosphorylation
- occurs in plants and animals when phosphate groups are from
donor molecules to ADP to make ATP.
- Oxidative phosphorylation
- occurs in the mitochondria of animal and plant cells in
the process of ETC.
- Photophosphorylation
- takes place in the chlorophyll containing plant
cells during photosynthesis
- is the source of energy for:
- Metabolic process
- ATP provides the energy for synthesis of
large molecules from basic units
- Movement
- ATP provides energy for muscle contractions.
- Active Transport
- ATP provides energy to change the
shape of carrier proteins.
- Secretion
- ATP is needed to form lysosomes.
