|
what is the full name of ATP and what is it?
|
Adenosine triphosphate is a high energy molecule containing three phosphates.
|
|
|
how can cells trap SOME of the released energy within the high energy phosphate bonds of ATP?
|
When cells release energy from various metabolic processes.
|
|
|
How much energy is trapped within ATP and how much energy is lost as heat...what kind of energy is it?
|
40%, 60%, chemical energy
|
|
|
energy is usually stored as what? What is it not so typically stored as and what are some of the differences between where it's not typically stored?
|
As glucose or fat, if energy is trapped within the bonds of ATP, it's quick and stored as phosphate (it literally happens in a matter of seconds)
|
|
|
When a cell needs energy to carry out some processes, it releases energy from ATP by converting it to what?
|
Adenosine diphosphate which gives off energy
|
|
|
When is ATP produced?
|
during metabolism within the cell
|
|
|
In denosine diphosphate is formed and one P breaks off, what happens?
|
40% energy is momentarily trapped.
|
|
|
When does ATP production occur?
|
it is constantly synthesized and constantly being broken down.
