Study Notes
Role of ATP
- When glucose is broken down during respiration, energy isn't always needed immediately.
- This energy is used to build ATP.
- ATP stores chemical energy.
- ATP releases energy when needed by the cell.
- ATP breaks down into ADP (Adenine Diphosphate) and an inorganic phosphate.
- Energy released by ATP breakdown fuels various cellular processes.
Cellular Processes Fueled by ATP
- Muscle cell contraction
- Active transport
- Cell division
- Protein synthesis
- Nerve impulse transmission
