What is ATP?
Adenosine triphosphate
1 of 27
What is it the most import product of?
Respiration
2 of 27
What is it an immediate source of?
Energy
3 of 27
What form of energy is ATP?
Chemical
4 of 27
What can ATP be converted into?
Other forms of chemical energy in metabolism, movement, heat
5 of 27
What does ATP consist of?
Adenine(base) linked to Ribose linked to 3 inorganic phosphate groups
6 of 27
When is ATP synthesised?
When organic molecules are oxidised in respiration, light energy trapped in photosynthesis
7 of 27
What does both of these involve?
Electrons being passed down a sequence of carrier molecules
8 of 27
What is ATP synthesised from?
ADP and inorganic phosphate
9 of 27
What type of reaction is this?
Condensation
10 of 27
How is the synthesis of ATP catalysed?
Catalysed by enzyme ATP synthase
11 of 27
Which bonds contain a lot of energy?
The bonds attaching phosphate groups- bonds attaching terminal P contains most energy
12 of 27
How can this energy be released?
When hydrolysed
13 of 27
What is the reaction for this?
ATP+ H2O -> ADP + Pi
14 of 27
How much energy is released?
30Kjmol-1
15 of 27
What is the energy released from glucose used for? (2870)
Make a significant amount of ATP molecules
16 of 27
Why is ATP a universal currency of energy?
Energy release is instantaneous as bonds in ATP unstable thus energy release rapid and only 1 reaction needed whereas in glucose many
17 of 27
What does ATP release?
Small amounts of energy - small usable packets
18 of 27
What is the use of ATP in active transport?
Transport substances into or out of cells against a concentration gradient
19 of 27
What is the use of ATP in secretion - exocytosis
Involved in vesicle formation and movement
20 of 27
What is the use of ATP in the activation of molecules eg glucose in glycolysis?
Glucose is phosphorylated making it more reactive
21 of 27
What is the use of ATP to create carbohydrates in the calvin cycle?
GP is converted into TP
22 of 27
What is the use of ATP in the calvin cycle?
Regeneration of ribulose biphosphate
23 of 27
What is the use of ATP in protein synthesis?
ATP needed to form peptide bonds
24 of 27
What is the use of ATP in nucleic acid synthesis?
DNA replication prior to cell division and mRNA synthesis during transcription for protein synthesis
25 of 27
What is the use of ATP in polysaccharide synthesis?
Glucose into glycogen or starch
26 of 27
What is the use of ATP in muscle contractions?
ATP required for protein filaments to slide past each other
