Study Notes
ATP-ADP Cycle
- ATP is the main energy currency of cells
- ATP is essential for numerous cellular functions
- ATP plays a crucial role in metabolic processes, muscle contraction, and active transport across membranes
- The ATP-ADP cycle is a dynamic equilibrium, constantly regenerating
- The cycle involves the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP, releasing energy for cellular work
- The cycle then regenerates ATP for future use
- ATP participates in both catabolic and anabolic pathways
- ATP maintains cellular structure
- ATP-ADP cycles is connected to cellular respiration and photosynthesis
- ATP production and use are closely regulated and interdependent
- ATP is continuously recycled in cells
- ATP is needed for active transport, synthesis of biomolecules, maintenance of cellular structure, nerve impulse transmission, and chemical work.
ATP
- ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate
- ATP is composed of an adenine molecule, a ribose sugar & 3 phosphate groups
- Phosphate groups are negatively charged
- The three phosphate groups are close together, leading to repulsion
- Breaking a phosphate bond in ATP releases energy
- ATP is an important source of energy for cells
- ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi), releasing energy
ATP Hydrolysis
- ATP hydrolysis involves the breaking of a phosphate bond in ATP
- Hydrolysis is mediated by water
- The reaction releases energy for cellular functions
ATP Synthesis
- ATP is synthesized from ADP and Pi
- ATP synthase is the enzyme that catalyzes ATP synthesis
- ATP synthase is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane
- ATP synthase is found in prokaryotes' plasma membrane and thylakoid membranes.
- The synthesis of ATP requires energy input
Importance of ATP-ADP Cycle
- The cycle maintains cellular energy levels
- The cycle is crucial for mechanical work
- The cycle assists in metabolic processes by breaking down and constructing molecules in cells
- The cycle provides immediate energy for processes
- The cycle is vital for cellular functions
- The cycle plays an essential role in cellular respiration and photosynthesis
Cellular processes using ATP
- Weight lifting
- Running
- Digestion
- Sleeping
- Thinking
- Heart pumping blood
