New cards

ATP

adenosine triphosphate - used to capture and transfer free energy required for processes

2
New cards

why is ATP useful to cells

releases large amount of energy when hydrolysed into ADP + Pi

3
New cards

what is ATP made of

adenine base, a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups.

4
New cards

hydrolysis

breaks a bond by inserting water

  • ATP hydrolysis - bonds broken between last 2 phosphate groups = ADP (2 phosphates) and Pi (inorganic phosphate) and releases lots of energy
