Resource summary
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.
