ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)
Adenine base, ribose sugar, three phosphate groups. Primary energy currency of cells, powers chemical reactions
2
New cards
ATP Hydrolysis
Breaking down ATP to ADP by adding a water molecule because it is unstable
3
New cards
Coupling reactions
Cells couple ATP hydrolysis with endergonic reactions which are energy absorbing reactions to make them exergonic, releasing energy that can be used for cellular work
