1. What is ATP? 2. What is ADP? 3. Why does energy need to be transferred from glucose to ATP? In the very important mononucleotide ATP, where is the energy "stored," and how is this stored energy released? Explain ATP as an energy storing molecule. ...
How is energy released from ATP? Is epinephrine a sympathetic neurotransmitter? Do killer T-cells release antigens? Is respiration a chemical reaction? Describe how a cell produces and releases proteins. How does acetyl-CoA enter gluconeogenesis?
ATP is rightly referred to as a universal energy currency because changing ATP to ADP results in a fairly substantial free energy loss, which can be used to drive energetically unfavorable processes elsewhere. This is no different fundamentally from what happens in a test tube on the lab bench ...

Chemiosmotic phosphorylation is the process of converting ADP to ATP in the inner membranes of mitochondria. The electron transport chain, which is found on the walls of mitochondria, contains an estimated 10,000 enzyme chains that draw energy from food molecules or photosynthesis (the creation of ...
How do plants produce ATP?. Ans: Hint: ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is a molecule that provides energy within cells. It is the cell's primary source of energy, and it is produced by photophosphorylation (adding a phosphate group to a molecule usin...
I understand that in removing the extra phosphate group to get an AMP more energy is released, but that also means that more energy has to be used to convert the AMP to ATP. Does the cell convert the AMP to ADP, which will ultimately become ATP in respiration, or does the cell use...
ATP: fuel for cells Throughout the day, the body needs energy to perform multiple functions. For this, it uses a nucleotide called adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which serves as a kind of fuel for the cell, powering all its reactions (1). During its hydrolysis, ATP releases...
The phosphagen system: high intensity for a sudden burst. Responsible for any short, explosive movements that last for around 6-10 seconds, such as one or two repetitions or a vertical jump. For such a brief burst of energy, this system relies on any ATP that is stored in your muscles....
How do autotrophs differ from heterotrophs in obtaining energy? How does the respiratory system produce energy? How do cells use the energy released from ATP? What is the function of an amoeba cell? How do autotrophs make food? Why does an amoeba need a contractile vacuole?
