One of the most well-documented misconceptions related to ATP is the idea that breaking bonds releases energy, when the opposite is true. This misconception is often attributed to language used in biology referring to the "high-energy bonds" in ATP. We interviewed chemistry,...
Explain how the electron transport system creates the high-energy bond of ATP. What type of exercise primarily uses oxidative phosphorylation? Why does this occur? How does ATP release energy for work? Briefly describe two cellular reactions that involve ATP hydrolysi...
Explain how cellular respiration produces ATP from molecules with high potential energy, such as glucose. Explain which forms of transport require energy and why, and how ATP facilitates energy-dependent transport. Describe the function of ATP. Describe 2 alternate ways in which a cell...
Explain why hemoglobin releases more oxygen at an actively working muscle than a resting muscle. What is ATP? Why is it important? Explain how the electron transport system creates the high-energy bond of ATP. Briefly explain why fast glycolytic muscle fibers fatigue more rapid...
Explain how the digestive system and the lymphatic system work together to maintain homeostasis. Why is this blood carried to the liver before it enters the systemic circulation Explain why hemoglobin releases more oxygen at an actively working muscle than a resting muscle. Describe how the lymphatic...
Describe how skeletal muscle derives ATP over a period of prolonged activity. Describe the function of the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system and how they work together. Explain how heart muscle cells are able to contract simultaneously. Why is aerobic energy more desirable than anaerob...
When animal cells do not get enough oxygen to satisfy the requirements for cellular respiration, how can the cells continue to produce ATP from glucose? Explain. What is the metabolic pathway that releases energy by breaking down complex molecules into smaller, simpler compounds? Under which metabol...
Describe how the body uses respiration to regulate the PH of the Blood. Why does air move out of the lungs during inspiration? Explain the air pressure differences in and out of the lungs during inspiration and expiration. Describe aerobic and anaerobic energy reactions. ...
How are the processes similar to one another? Compare and contrast the reactants and products of photosynthesis with the reactants and products of cellular respiration. Compare the cellular processes of respiration and photosynthesis as opposite reactions. Consider t...
Explain how cells capture the energy released by cellular respiration. Cellular respiration uses ___ to produce energy and releases ___ as a waste product. A. O2 ; CO2 B. CO2 ; O2 C. ATP; G3P D. G3P; ATP In cellular respiration, the energy comes fro...
