Adding one P to ADP (which has only 2 phosphates) takes energy which is stored in the last bond. You get this energy by eating food. ADP + P ----> ATP

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 molecule is used by the enzymes ATP synthase to form ATP.?

ADP


What is the difference between ATP synthesis and ATP synthase?

synthases do not use energy from NTP's, sythetases do! synthase can be used with any enzyme that catalyzes synthesis (whether or not it uses nucleoside triphosphates), whereas synthetase is to be used synonymously with 'ligase'.


Which protein complex allows hydrogen ions to rush out of the thylacoid providing energy that can be used to make a molecule?

ATP synthase is the protein complex that allows hydrogen ions to flow out of the thylakoid membrane during photosynthesis. This flow of hydrogen ions creates a proton gradient that drives the production of ATP, which is a molecule that stores energy for the cell to use.


ATP is an enzyme?

no, ATP stands for Adenosine TriPhosphate. Not an enzyme.


During replication what enzyme is used to split the DNA molecule in half?

helicase


Hydrogen ions move from the outer to the inner compartment of the mitochondria through what molecule?

Hydrogen ions move from the outer to the inner compartment of the mitochondria through the enzyme ATP synthase, which is embedded in the inner membrane. This movement of hydrogen ions creates an electrochemical gradient that drives ATP production.


What molecule is used to find and cut DNA in genetic engineering processes?

The molecule used to find and cut DNA in genetic engineering processes is called a restriction enzyme.


What is the name of the enzyme used in the ATP ADP cycle?

"If you remove just one of these phosphate groups from the end, so that there are just two phosphate groups, the molecule is much happier. This conversion from ATP to ADP is an extremely crucial reaction for the supplying of energy for life processes."


What is the basic mechanism by which ATP synthase generates ATP in the mitochondria?

The proton gradient set up by the electron transport chain causes mechanical rotation of ATP synthase, and this energy is used to form ATP


What is the enzyme that restore adp back to ATP?

The enzyme that converts adenosine diphosphate back into adenosine triphosphate is called 'ATP synthase'.


A part substance or element that lies beneath and supports another part substance or element the reactant in reactions catalyzed by enzymes?

Substrate is the term used to describe a substance that undergoes a reaction catalyzed by an enzyme. It is the substance that is acted upon by the enzyme to form a product. In a chemical reaction, the substrate is the molecule upon which an enzyme acts.
