ATP RG

• What is ATP the source of

  ATP is the immediate source of energy in a cell
• what is the process of respiration (briefly)?


  Plant and animal cells release energy from glucose = respiration
• what can a cell not get it's energy from


  a cell cannot get its energy DIRECTLY from glucose
• WWhat happens with the energy created from respiration?

  In respiration, the energy released from glucose is used to make ATP
• What does ATP stand for

  Adenosine triphosphate
• What is ATP made from?

  The nucleotide base ADENINE, combined with a RIBOSE SUGAR and THREE PHOSPHATE GROUPS
• What is ATP known as

  a nucleotide derivative
• Why is ATP known as a nucleotide derivative ?

  Becuase it is a modified form of a nucleotide
• what does ATP do once made?

  diffuses to the part of the cell that needs energy
• How is the energy in ATP stored?

  in high energy bonds between the phosphate groups
• How is the energy in ATP released?

  via hydrolysis reaction
