What Is ATP
What is a covalent bond?
A covalent bond is a high energy bonds that can hold lots of energy.
What happens when the phone is used and uses it energy?
ADP happens and that is when the phone is dead or uncharged
What is the most important molecule in the body?
ATP is the most important molecule in the body without a constant and abundant source of ATP, a cell would die
Why is ATP called the cell's energy currency?
ATP is used as energy in everything the cell does. The more energy it needs, the more ATP it needs
What happened when the bond breaks to the ATP?
ATP loses one phosphate group
What is an analogy for ATP/ADP?
ATP/ADP is like a cell phone
What is ATP?
Adenosine TriPhospate
What is it called when adenine and ribose are combined?
Adenosine is what it is called hen adenine and ribose are combined
What kind of molecule is Adenosine TriPhosphate?
Adensoine TriPhosphate is an energy storing molecule
Where do cells get their energy from?
Cells get energy from ATP molecules
What do cells do to ADP to make ATP
Cells recycle the ADP to make ATP because they store energy for future energy
How does the ATP structure look like?
First there is a squared box that is a combination of adenine and ribose which is called adenosine. Next to it is 3 ovals that are phosphate and those thing together in a line make up the structure of ATP
What does ATP represent in a phone?
It is a charged phone
What is ATP made of?
It is made of adenine(nitrogen base), ribose(sugar), and phosphate groups
What is the structure of ADP?
It is one squared box which is the combination of adenine and ribose which is called adenosine. Next is only two phosphate because one fell and energy takes it place and that is the structure of ADP
What is Adenosine TriPhosphate called?
Its called the cell's energy currecncy
How are phosphates connected?
Phosphates are connected by a covalent bond.
What happens when a covalent bond breaks?
When a bond breaks the energy is released
What does ATP turn into when it loses one phosphate group?
When this happens Adenosine TRIPhosphate turns into adenosine "DI"phosphate.
What happens when an organism is resting and energy is not need immediately?
When this happens phosphate groups are reattached
Can you recharge your goen when your not using it?
Yes you can
What can you do like a phone?
You can recharge from ADP to ATP when you eat food or sleep
What happened when you eat and take energy from food?
You do this to recharge ATP in your body
