- ATP
- Energy is needed for:
- Movement
- Muscle Contractions
- Cell division
- Mitosis
- Metabolic Reactions
- Protein synthesis
- Active transport
- Bile Production
- Nitrogen fixation
- Photosynthesis
- Movement
- Role of ATP:
- Single reaction - quick
- Immediate energy source
- Released in small quantities
- 'Universal currency' for all cells
- Moves around freely and easily
- [Adenosine]-P-P~P
- High energy bond between 2nd & 3rd P, represented ~
- ADP + Pi --> ATP
- Condensation reaction - gives out H2O and Anabolic - build up - take in energy
- Reverse reaction s a hydrolysis + energy is given out - catabolic break down
- Energy is needed for:
