1
Q
what is ATP made of?
A
a pentose sugar: ribose
a nitrogenous base: adenine
three inorganic phosphate groups
2
Q
how is ATP synthesised?
A
through a condensation reaction between an ADP molecule and an inorganic phosphate group.
3
Q
what is the function of ATP?
A
source of energy for biochemical processes
phosphorylates other biological molecules to make them more reactive.
4
Q
how does ATP break down?
A
through a hydrolysis reaction catalysed by ATP hydrolase.
