Structure of ATP |
Adenine- nitrogen containing organic base Ribose- sugar molecule- backbone Phosphates- chain of 3 phosphate groups |
|
|
What does ATP stand for? |
Adenosine triphosphate |
|
|
Describe the bonds between the phosphate groups |
Unstable creating a low activation energy and are easily broken and when broken they release a large amount of energy and also release one inorganic phosphate |
|
|
What type of reaction breaks ATP into ADP and what enzyme catalyses this? |
Hydrolysis reaction (reversible) ATP hydrolase |
|
|
what 3 ways does ADP get converted to ATP? |
Photophosphorylation- in plant cells during photosynthesis Oxidative phosphorylation- I'm plant and animal cells during respiration Substrate level phosphorylation- in plant and animal cells when a phosphate molecule is transferred from a donor molecule to ADP |
|
