What is ATP made of?

Adenine, Ribose, and 3 Phosphate Groups

2
New cards

How is ATP resynthesised?

ADP + Pi (condensation reaction)

Catalysed by ATP synthase, happens during photosynthesis and respiration.

3
New cards

How is ATP Hydrolysed

Bonds between phosphate groups are unstable - low activation energy - easily broken

Catalysed by ATP Hydrolase

New cards

Why Is ATP a Better iMEDIATE eNERGY sOURCE

Less energy released than glucose - releases small manageable chunks

ATP - SDP is a simplke single step reaction - Glucose breakdown takles longer

5
New cards

What is ATP needed for?

Secretions - needed to form lysosomes

Active Transport - needed to change shape of carrier proteins

Movement - needed for muscle contractions

Metabolic Processes - needed to build up macromolecules
