Adenosine Triphosphate 1 of 7 Can energy be created or destroyed? No 2 of 7 Name 4 things organisms use energy for? Metabolism, Movement, Active Transport and maintence of body temperature 3 of 7 How does ATP release energy? The bonds between the 3 phosphate groups are unstable and have a low activation energy, so can be broken easily releasing energy 4 of 7 What process converts ATP to ADP + Pi Hydrolysis because water is added to the molecule to break it up 5 of 7 Why is ATP called the immediate energy source of a cell? Because it can be easily hydrolyzed releasing energy straight away 6 of 7 Where is ATP made? In the mitochondria of cells 7 of 7
