Reversible reaction - ATP + Water ADP + Pi + Energy. ATPase.
4 of 10
Addition of a phosphate
Phosphorylation
5 of 10
Types of Phosphorylation using electron transport
Oxidative and Photo. Not Substrate level (phosphate transferred from donor group to ADP)
6 of 10
Why does ATP release energy in steps
Energy transfer is inefficient and releases heat. In one step the heat would destroy the cell.
7 of 10
How does ATP store energy
Endergonic reaction to add a phosphate to ATP. When hydrolised ATP releases this energy as it becomes ADP
8 of 10
Uses/Advantages of ATP
A single reaction releases energy, Only one enzyme required, Releases small amounts of energy when needed, Soluble in cytoplasm...add more
9 of 10
Roles of ATP
Active transport, Metabolic processes (complex molecules from simple e.g DNA synthesis from nucleotides), Movement, Nerve transmission, Secretion (Packaging/transport of products into vesicles)
