What is ATP? | Adenosine Triphosphate -Energy carrier molecule |
Structure of ATP? | 1 Adenosine, 1 ribose sugar and 3 Phosphates |
How is ATP formed? | ADP + Pi (+energy used) =ATP -Condensation reaction using ATP Synthase |
Breakdown of ATP | ATP = ADP + Pi (+ energy released) -Hydrolysis reaction with ATP Hydrolase -Releases energy from its bonds |
Why is ATP a good deliverer of energy? | - Immediate source = need to only break one bond (bond is weak) -Manageable source = releases small amount of energy |
Uses of ATP in organisms | -Protein synthesis -Organelle synthesis -DNA replication -Cell Division (mitosis) -Active transport -Metabolic reactions -Movement -Maintaining body temp |
