2.3 atp

Question 1

what is atp made of?

Answer 1

Adenine (base), ribose sugar and 3 phosphate groups

Question 2

process of forming adp

Answer 2

breaking bond between one phosphate group via hydrolysis. this releases energy and forms adp and an inorganic phosphate group.

Question 3

hydrolysis

Answer 3

adding a water but breaking a bond

Question 4

describe atp adp cycle

Answer 4

hydrolysis of atp releases energy for cells necessary for cell division and other cellular activities. This creates adp which goes through phosphorylation which loses a water and absorbs energy necessary for cellular respiration or photosynthesis.

Question 5

phosphorylation

Answer 5

conversion of adp to atp via dehydration synthesis which absorbs energy.
