Respiration in cells is the synthesis of energy by the breakdown of molecules. The chemical energy of nutrients such as glucose is utilized to synthesize energy or ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules. Answer and Explanation:1 Hydrolysis of ATP releases energy, which is use...
Kentish JC, Allen DG: Is force production in the myocardium directly dependent upon the free energy change of ATP hydrolysis? J Mol Cell Cardiol 18:879–882, 1986Kentish JC, Allen DG. Is force production in the myo- cardium directly dependent upon the free energy change of ATP hydrolysis?
ATP or adenosine triphosphate is considered as the energy currency in the body. The reason why it is considered as the energy currency in the body is that it is a high free energy compound that is abundant in the body. ATP is composed of adenine (nitrogenous base), a ribose sugar and t...

ATP synthases of the F0F1 type are multi-subunit protein complexes anchored to membranes that convert proton (or sodium ion) gradients into chemical energy in the form of ATP.1 Proton gradients are established by divergent processes, such as respiratory electron transport in mitochondria or photosynt...

In addition, these motors are also able to transform the free energy released from the ATP hydrolysis into useful work. In fact, this free energy transduction occurs even at the level of single hydrolysis events. In this way, they consume quantized amounts of fuel. Even though some of these...
Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) was performed, under low voltage conditions of 3 kV and current of 10 nA, using the secondary electron (lower) detector on the Hitachi SU8230 SEM. Scanning electron microscopy–energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDS) was performed on ...
Thus, the breaking of the bonds between the phosphate groups releases energy that is available to fuel other processes within the cell.Answer and Explanation: The hydrolysis reaction breaks adenosine triphosphate (i.e., ATP) into an adenosine diphosphate molecule (i.e., ADP) and an inorganic ...
The major energy source for every living organism is ATP. An adenine base and ribose sugar are linked to three phosphates. The breakdown of sugars and fatty acids generates it, and it acts as an energy currency for the cell. ATP breaking down releases energy. Cellular processes like protein ...
