ATP, or Adenosine Triphosphate, is found in cells. When ATP is broken down, the energy that it contains can be in the form of heat that is released by the cell, or the cell can use it as an energy source.

What happens with ATP during glycolsis?
Glucose is changed into pyruvate
Is the breakdown of ATP a redox reaction?
It is an exothermic breakdown because it produces energy.
Where is respiration started?
Respiration has 3 main steps:1. Glycolysis - initial breakdown of glucose2. Krebs Cycle/Citric Acid Cycle - complete breakdown of glucose into CO23. Electron Transport Chain and Oxidative Phosphorylation - use of energy released duringglucose breakdown to produce ATPGLYCOLYSIS:*the breakdown of glucose to produce 2 molecules of pyruvate*requires breaking bonds*exergonic process, energy is released*each molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) is split into 2 three carbon sugars*during the breakdown of glucose, electrons are released*these electrons are stored in 2 molecules of NADH (reduced coenzyme)*the electrons are released later in the electron transport chain (Step 3)*glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm (does not require mitochondria)*glycolysis requires an investment of energy in order to produce energy*2 ATP used during energy investment phase*4 ATP produced during energy payoff phase*Net: 2 ATP produced during glycolysis per glucose moleculeEquation: C6H12O6 + 2ATP --> 2 pyruvate + 4ATP + 2NADH + 2H2O
What is released during the reaction of hydrolysis of ATP?
When ATP is hydrolyzed ADP and a phosphate group are produced.
Most of the energy released when food is broken down during cellular respiration is in the form of what?
ATP is the bodies energy currency.
During respiration what energy is released?
Atp
What is the energy currency in living organisms.when and where it is produced?
Atp. it is produced in nucleus during breakdown of carbohydrates
Atp is a compound that is synthesized when what occurs?
Energy stored in chemical bonds is released during cellular respiration
What are two ways that the cells use energy released from the breakdown of ATP?
cell division, locomotion movement, and metabolism
What happens with ATP during glycolsis?
Glucose is changed into pyruvate
Is the breakdown of ATP a redox reaction?
It is an exothermic breakdown because it produces energy.
What energy does a plant stores that can be released during respiration?
ATP
What process provides the energy used make ATP from ADP?
the breakdown of food molecules

What is released during the reaction of hydrolysis of ATP?
When ATP is hydrolyzed ADP and a phosphate group are produced.
What is released during the hydrolysis of ATP?
During the hydrolysis of ATP, a phosphate group and water are released, along with energy that is used for various cellular processes. The breaking of the ATP molecule into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate is catalyzed by enzymes known as ATPases.
Most of the energy released when food is broken down during cellular respiration is in the form of what?
ATP is the bodies energy currency.
