What provides energy for the mechanical functions of cells?
ATP
What provides energy for cells to grow and divide?
ATP provides energy for the body's functions
What is the main way cells get energy from ATP?
Cellular respiration is the main way cells get energy from ATP.
What are two ways in which cells use the energy provited by ATP?
Cells use the energy from ATP for active transport and protein synthesis.
What two mechanisms are used to generate ATP from glucose to muscle cells?
Glycolosis (in the cytoplasm) and aerobic metabolism (in the mitochondria) are used to generate ATP from glucose in muscle cells.
What provides energy for the mechanical functions of cells?
ATP
What is provided by ATP that is critical for cells to carry out their many functions?
energy
How do proteins in your cells access the energy stores in ATP?
Proteins in your cells access the energy stored in ATP by breaking down glucose. ATP will release energy any time the cells need to carry out functions that require energy.
How do carbohydrates provide energy for life functions in terms of ATP?
Carbohydrates are key in providing energy to cells. The energy from the food is converted to ATP which is then stored within the cells for use.
What are mitochondria's used for?
mitochondria's are the ATP making structure in cells (ATP is and energy the cells uses which is broken down from proteins.
What are the 5 molecules that support the functions of cells?
Protein,carbohydrate,lipid,ATP, and nucleic acids.
What provides energy for cells to grow and divide?
ATP provides energy for the body's functions
What does oxygen do as a component of blood?
Oxygen is used to produce ATP in the mitochondria, which powers our cells to do its functions.
What are the two ways in which cells use the energy provided by ATP?
Cells use the energy from ATP for active transport and cell division.
What are the two ways which cells use the energy provided by ATP?
Cells use the energy from ATP for active transport and cell division.
What are two ways which the cells use the energy provided by ATP?
Cells use the energy from ATP for active transport and cell division.
What molecule carries chemical energy that cells use their functions?
This molecule is ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), a nucleoside.
