ATP and ADP

Three fuels we store for energy production

-glycogen
-triglycerides
-amino acids

where is ATP stored?

muscle cells
only immediate available energy source

What is ATP made up of?

1 adenosine
3 phosphates

What is ATPase?

enzyme that extracts energy from ATP

What does ATPase do?

breaks end high energy phosphate bond

Reaction made from ATPase and phosphate breaking

Exothermic reaction

What is released after the exothermic reaction?

energy for muscular contractions
leaves ADP and 1 phosphate

Simple terms of how ATP breaks down

ATP - ADP+P+energy

how long does ATP last in muscle cells?

2-3 seconds

ATP resynthesis

endothermic reaction
surrounding energy is absorbed to rebuild high energy bond

ATP resynthesis in simple terms

ADP+P+energy - ATP
