Answer 2

Adenine.
Ribose.
3 phosphates.

Question 3

Why is ATP recyclable?

Answer 3

Hydrolysis of ATP makes ADP + P + energy. And can be remade with a condensation reaction.

Question 4

What is a benefit of ATP forming phosphorylated intermediates?

Answer 4

It makes metabolites more reactive and lowers the activation energy required.

Question 5

What is a benefit of ATP being soluble?

Answer 5

It easily moves within cells. Allows for energy to be transported.

Question 6

What is a benefit of ATP being reversible?

Answer 6

Its quick and easy. Responds well to a sudden increase in energy demand.

Question 7

What is a benefit of ATP releasing small but sufficient amount of energy?

Answer 7

Enough energy for metabolic reactions, without wasting energy.

Question 8

Is ATP a stable molecule? Yes or no?

Answer 8

Yes

Question 9

ATP enzymes?

Answer 9

ATPase
ATP synthase
