ATP

• what does ATP stand for

  adenosine tri phosphate
• how is atp an immediate source of energy

  only one bond has to be hydrolised to release energy
• how does ATP transfer energy to different compounds

  the inorganic phosphate group is released when ATP is hydrolysed so the phosphate can be bonded to different compounds to make them more reactive this is known as phosphorylation
• what is the structure of ATP similar too?

  nucleotide derivative
• what type of energy source is ATP?

  immediate energy source
• what are the structures of ATP?

  • adenine
  • ribose
  • three inorganic phosphate ions
• what process produces ATP?

  aerobic respiration
• what equation produces ATP?

  ADP + pi -> ATP + water
• give an example of phosphorylation?

  glucose is phosphorylated in the beginning of respiration to make it more reactive
• what are the 5 properties of ATP?

  1. immediate energy source
  2. less energy wasted
  3. small and soluble
  4. can't pass out of the cell
  5. phosphorylation
• how is less energy wasted using ATP?

  it produces small bursts of energy
• how is ATP being small and soluble an advantage?

  easily transported around the cell
• how is ATP not being able to pass out of the cell an advantage ?

  constant supply
• what enzyme is used in the condensation reaction of ATP?

  ATP synthase
• what enzyme is used in the hydrolysis reaction?

  ATP hydrolase
• where does ATP synthase take place

  chloroplast and mitochondria
