Give the equation to form ATP. State the name of the reaction and the enzyme responsible.
ADP + Pi → ATP
Phosphorylation reaction catalysed by ATP synthase
Give the equation for the breakdown of ATP. State the name of the reaction and the enzyme its catalyzed by.
ATP → ADP + Pi
Hydrolysis reaction catalyzed by ATPase
How can ATP be used as an energy source
When hydrolysed, the phosphate gets hydrated and it releases energy which is then used for active transport, muscle contraction and protein synthesis.
Describe the structure of ATP
3 phosphate groups
ribose sugar
adenine base
Compare and contrast the structure of ATP to a DNA nucleotide
Both have a pentose sugar - DNA has deoxyribose, ATP has ribose
Both have nitrogenous base - DNA has CGAT, ATP has A
Both have phosphate group - DNA has 1, ATP has 3
