Energy in the body is formed when ATP is broken down into ADP. This reaction is therefore exothermic. Thus, the reverse reaction is going to be endothermic because energy is required in order to attach the phosphate to the ADP.

Is glycolysis a anabolic or catabolic reaction?
hey glycolysis is both an anabolic and a catabolic reaction, because at first, your are investing energy which is ATP, then you later harvest ATP with pyruvate (3C compound), and NADH. So it is both processes
Breaking apart the link between ATP and a phosphate which produces heatidentify this reactin as either anabloic or catabolic endergonic or exergonic and spontaneous or non spontaneous?
The breaking apart the link between ATP and phosphate which produces heat is catabolic, exergonic, and spontaneous. The burning of paper is catabolic, exergonic, and spontaneous.
Are ATP and ADP fuels?
ATP and ADP are not considered fuels. The fuels that are utilized in order to produce ATP and ADP usually come from the food that people eat.
Which chemical reactions best represents the synthesis of ATP?
adp+p(i)--->atp ADP +P ---> ATP
When ADP molecules gain phosphates do they become ATP molecules?
yes ADP + iP ----- ATP

What is the role of ATP as an intermediate between catabolism and anabolism?
Catabolic reactions are exothermic and anabolic reactions are endothermic. For endothermic reactions ATP supplies the energy by its hydrolysis to ADP and inorganic phosphate, which can be recycled to ATP by utilizing the energy produced by exothermic reactions. By this way ATP serves as an intermediate linking the catabolism and anabolism.
Is the conversion of ADP to ATP reversible?
Yes; when ATP is used up (loses a phosphate group), it can be "re-energized" (phosphorylated) by the addition of a free phosphate. ADP is constantly being made into ATP and ATP is constantly being used up and turned into ADP.
What is the role of ATP in an catalobic reaction?
ADP reduces when involved in a catabolic reaction and gains an extra phosphate group, becoming ATP (three phosphates), a molecule with more chemical energy stored than ADP (two phosphates).
Is making ATP endergonic or exergonic?
making ATP is endergonic. This is because after ATP hydrolysis to form ADP + P, we now are at a lower energy state and for ATP to be formed again it has to be fueled by catabolic pathways, eg respiration. this energy input allows ATP to be formed and thus we see that phosphorylation of ADP requires energy input (endergonic) to form ATP. Converting ATP into ADP and P itself is EXERGONIC.
How did ATP store energy and What is its importance to living things?
When ATP divides into ADP and Pi ( inorganic phosphate) energy is released. This energy is used by the cell to do work and produce heat. And the reverse reaction occurs by using the energy obtained from food. Thus the above reaction acts as a link reaction which links the catabolic and anabolic pathways.
An increase in the level of cellular ATP is likely to occur under which conditions?
Aerobic respiration (of glucose, or compounds that can be converted into glucose) is a major source of ATP in a cell. Photosynthesis also produces ATP, which is used for the biosynthesis of organic molecules from inorganic ones. Some ATP is produced by glycolysis, the anaerobic breakdown of glucose into pyruvate in the cytoplasm.
ATP production formula?
adp+p(i)--->atp ADP +P ---> ATP
Breaking apart the link between ATP and a phosphate which produces heatidentify this reactin as either anabloic or catabolic endergonic or exergonic and spontaneous or non spontaneous?
The breaking apart the link between ATP and phosphate which produces heat is catabolic, exergonic, and spontaneous. The burning of paper is catabolic, exergonic, and spontaneous.
Is removing phosphate from ATP to form ADP known as phosphorylation?
Phosphorylation is the addition of a phosphate to ADP to form ATP. ADP + P = ATP Dephosphorylation is the removal of a phosphate from ATP to form ADP. ATP - P = ADP
what are the following processes releases energy to be used by a cell?
Chemical reactions that release energy are called exergonic. Cellular processes that release energy are called catabolic, or catabolism. {I remember this by thinking 'What does a cat do with its claws to your furniture - it breaks things down.' Also, anabolic steroids are for 'building up'.} The main energy producing catabolic reactions occur using Respiration that releases usable biochemical energy in the form of Atp.
Would the formation of ATP molecules from glucose oxidation be an example of energy transformation or conversion?
Yes. It is a good example of energy transformation or conversion. In this energy stored in glucose molecule is released in small pockets. And stored in 38 ATP molecules. Here ADP molecule get converted into ATP molecule. When energy is required, ATP molecule is reconverted into ADP molecule.
