- ATP
- Energy released from glucose makes ATP
- Made from: Adenine, ribose sugar & 3 phosphate groups
- Carries energy around cell to where it is needed
- Synthesised from ADP & inorganic phosphate
- Using energy from a energy releasing reaction
- E.g. breakdown of glucose in respiration
- Energy stored as chemical energy in phosphate bond
- ATP synthase enzyme catalyses reaction
- Using energy from a energy releasing reaction
- It diffuses to part of cell that needs energy
- Then broken down back into ADP & inorganic phosphate
- Chemical energy released from phosphate bond & used by cell
- ADP & inorganic phosphate recycled
- Process starts again
- ADP & inorganic phosphate recycled
- ATPase enzyme catalyses
- Chemical energy released from phosphate bond & used by cell
- Then broken down back into ADP & inorganic phosphate
- Energy released from glucose makes ATP
