Worksheet: Chemical Energy & ATP
What enzyme is used in synthesis?
ATP synthase
What enzyme is used in hydrolysis?
ATPase
ATP's long name
Adenosine Triphosphate
Carbon based molecule that is the source for most energy in the foods you eat
Carbohydrates
What types of organic compounds store the least energy?
Carbohydrates
What is ATP used for?
Energy
What types of organic compounds store the most energy?
Fats
What is this process of releasing energy called?
Hydrolysis
How is energy stored in ATP?
In the energy bonds of the phosphates
Carbon based molecule
Organic compounds
What is the process of using energy to make something called?
Synthesis
How do plants produce ATP?
The chloroplast makes carbs, which are sent to the mitochondria and energy is made through cellular respiration
When in the ATP/ADP cycle is energy used?
When ADP becomes ATP
When is energy released?
When ATP becomes ADP
Where is energy stored in these molecules?
Within Chemical bonds
Parts of ATP
1 adenine, 1 ribose, 3 phosphate groups
What is ATP?
A small molecule used as a coenzyme, often called "molecular unit of currency"
What does ATP turn into when one phosphate group is removed?
ADP
