What is one way that ATP is used in cells?
Glucose is taken up by mitochondria and used to make ATP
What is the energy molecule created in cellular respiration?
During cellular respiration, the energy rich molelcule ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is produced.Cells undergoing aerobic respiration produce 6 molecules of carbon dioxide, 6 molecules of water, and up to 30 molecules of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is directly used to produce energy, from each molecule of glucose in the presence of surplus oxygen.
What happens when ATP gives up one phosphate group?
When ATP gives up one phosphate group, it is converted into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and releases energy that can be used for cellular processes. This process is known as hydrolysis, where the bond between the last phosphate group and the rest of the ATP molecule is broken to release energy.
What two products of the light reactions are used up in the Calvin cycle?
NADPH and ATP
What is the role ATP and ADP play in cells?
ATP is the energy currency of cells, storing and transferring energy within the cell for various metabolic activities. When ATP is used, it is converted to ADP, releasing energy that can be harnessed by the cell for various processes. ADP can then be recycled back into ATP through processes like cellular respiration.
