ATP
a nucleotides that consist of an adenine base, a 5 carbon sugar ribose, and 3 phosphate groups
ATP
used for temporary storage of energy, and for energy transfer between processes/parts of the cell
Properties of ATP
soluble in water (allows it to move through cytoplasm
stable at neutral ph
hydrolysis of ATP can release energy
ATP
when broken up creates ADP and energy
cell respiration
carbon compounds oxidized to release energy which is then used to form ATP
Glucose and fatty acids
main carbon compounds used
Aerobic respiration
uses oxygen
carbs, lipids, amino acids used
high atp yeild (~3-)
initially in cytoplasm, then in mitochondria
Anaerobic respiration
doesn’t use energy
only carbohydrates used
co2 and lactate and ethanoate are waste products
WATER NOT PRODUCED
low atp yield (2 per glucose)
all in cytoplasm)
Aerobic resperation
used in muscles for short periods
C6H2O6+6O2-->
6H2O+ ATP
formula
cellular respiration
the controlled release of energy from organic compounds to make AP
