That's an easy one. An ATP molecule is an adenosine-derived nucleotide, C10H16N5O13P3, that contains high-energy phosphate bonds and is used to transport energy to cells for biochemical processes, including muscle contraction and enzymatic metabolism, through its hydrolysis to ADP. ATP is hydrolyzed to AMP when it is incorporated into DNA or RNA.

What spins to provide energy for adding a phosphate group to ADP?
The rotor part of the ATP synthase enzyme.
Where in the process of cellular respiration does ATP synthase make ATP?
ATP synthase is involved in making ATP + P at the membrane in the mitochondria. This occurs at the beginning of the Krebs cycle.
How many protons needed to create one ATP at ATP synthase?
ATP is not made from amino Acids. It is Adenosine tri phosphate.
What happens as ATP is synthesized in the electron transport chain?
just as in photosynthesis, the flow of hydrogen ions is used to make ATP. hydrogen ions diffuse through a protein channel in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. the channel is part of the ATP synthase enzyme. ATP synthase adds phosphate groups to ADP to make ATP molecules. for each pair of electrons that passes through the electron transport chain, an average of three ATP molecules are made
How does ATP snythase produce ATP?
ATP synthase is an enzyme that speeds up the production of ADP to ATP. It doesn't need anything. It is just doing what is it is meant to do.
What passes through ATP synthase and causes ATP molecules to be produced from ADP molecules?
The hydrogen ions ( protons; H+ ) that are falling down their concentration gradient from where they were pumped into the outer lumen of the mitochondria and falling through the ATP-synthase to synthesize ATP ( phosphorylate ) from ADP.
When ATP synthase in activated it adds a phosphate group to what molecule?
ATP synthase catalyzes the addition of a phosphate group to an ADP molecule. ADP + ATP synthase + P --> ATP + ATP synthase (ATP synthase on both sides of the equation indicates that, as an enzyme, it is not used up in the reaction.)
What spins to provide energy for adding a phosphate group to ADP?
The rotor part of the ATP synthase enzyme.
What molecules carry high-energy electrons into the electron transport chain?
The answer is NADH and FADH2. Both of these are electron carriers.
Which protein complex allows hydrogen ions to rush out of the thylacoid providing energy that can be used to make a molecule?
ATP synthase allows H+ ions to pass through the thylakoid membrane.
Cell structure that produces ATP energy molecules?
Some ATP is produced by the glycolytic pathway which is located in the cytoplasm. Most is synthesized by the protein ATP synthase, which is found in the mitochondrion.
What is the membrane- bond protein molecules that pass electrons along the electron transport system chain called?
Atp synthase. The hydrogen ions released from the electron transport chain turn the rotor-like protein, Atp synthase. This combines the phosphate group and ADP to form ATP.
What is the difference between ATPase and ATP synthase?
They both are enzymes related to ATP. The difference lies in that ATPase breaks down ATP while ATP synthase synthesizes ATP.
Where are the catalytic knobs of ATP synthase located?
The catalytic knobs of ATP synthase would be located on the stromal side of the membrane. Protons travel through ATP synthase from the thylakoid space to the stroma.
Where in the process of cellular respiration does ATP synthase make ATP?
ATP synthase is involved in making ATP + P at the membrane in the mitochondria. This occurs at the beginning of the Krebs cycle.
Which of these phosphorylates ADP to make ATP?
ATP synthase
What are enzymes that creates ATP called?
ATP Synthase
