What's the difference in the Flashlight beams in ADP and ATP?
ADP is like a partially charged battery that will produce a dim light & ATP is like a fully charged battery that produces a bright light
Which chemical reactions best represents the synthesis of ATP?
adp+p(i)--->atp ADP +P ---> ATP
How are ADP and ATP like a battery?
ADP is like a partially charged battery because there is still energy contained within the bond between the first and second phosphate groups. However, it lacks the "high energy" bond that exists between the second and third phosphate groups in ATP.
Why is ATP often thought of as rechargeable battery?
Because ATP stores energy and releases it turning into ADP in the process. This ADP is then converted back to ATP by the cells so that its energy is ready when required, just like a rechargeable battery.
Using the analogy of a battery how is ATP stored and released from ATP?
ATP (with 3 Phosphate Groups) would be the full charged battery. ADP (with 2 Phosphate Groups) would be the partially charged battery. To release energy, the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate group is released. To store energy, a bond is made between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate group.
How is the ATP molecule like a rechargable battery?
When ATP is used, it becomes ADP or Adenine Di-Phosphate. Adding another phosphate will "recharge" ATP.
What goes into ATP and comes out of ATP?
ATP is an energy and molecule it powers all of the cells energy needs somewhat like a battery. ATP is generated when a phosphate (P) group is added to one ADP.
ATP production formula?
adp+p(i)--->atp ADP +P ---> ATP
How is energy stored in an ATP molecule release?
ATP has three phosphate groups attached to the nucleic acid adenosine. The last or third bond has the most energy in it and when it is broken. that energy is used to drive cell activities. It may be helpful to think of ATP as a battery that gets charged, and as soon as it is charged, it can off a spark of energy that can be used to do work in the body.
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
Use the analogy of a battery to explain how energy is stored in and released from ATP?
ATP (with 3 Phosphate Groups) would be the full charged battery. ADP (with 2 Phosphate Groups) would be the partially charged battery. To release energy, the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate group is released. To store energy, a bond is made between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate group.
What is the purpose of ATP in both photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
Think of ATP (and ADP) as a battery ... storing energy to be used as needed.
