2.35: Know that ATP Provides Energy for Cells

ATP (ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE): High energy molecule that functions as an immediate source fo power for cell processes

ATP PRODUCTION BY RESPIRATION

 Diagram showing the Production of ATP from Respiration
EQUATION:



EXPLANATION:

  • ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) contains three covalently bonded Phosphate groups that store potential energy between their bonds
  • This potential energy is released and used by the cell when the end Phosphate is removed from ATP, forming Adenosine Triphosphate (ADP) and Phosphate (Pi)
  • Cell respiration can regenerate ATP from the resulting ADP + Pi by using energy in organic compounds (involves oxidation)
  • This is a continuous cycle, allowing molecules to be recycled to provide a constant source of immediate energy in the cell to facilitate metabolic pathway

    "This potential energy is released and used by the cell when the end Phosphate is removed from ATP, forming Adenosine Triphosphate (ADP) and Phosphate (Pi)" The 21st word of this sentence should say Diphosphate not triphosphate as one of the phosphates has been removed
