What cellular process makes most of a cell's atp?

The process that makes most of a cell's ATP is cellular respiration. This process occurs in the mitochondria and involves the breakdown of glucose molecules to produce ATP through a series of biochemical reactions.


How many molecules of ATP are used in the reaction, and how many are directly made?

In the reaction, 2 molecules of ATP are used and 4 molecules of ATP are directly made.


Why ATP is needed not GTP for hexokinase reaction?

ATP is used in the hexokinase reaction because it acts as the source of phosphate for the phosphorylation of glucose to form glucose-6-phosphate. Hexokinase specifically recognizes and phosphorylates glucose, and it has a higher affinity for ATP compared to GTP. Therefore, ATP is the preferred energy source for this reaction.


Which process produces most of ATP molecules?

The majority of ATP molecules are produced through oxidative phosphorylation, which occurs in the mitochondria during cellular respiration. This process involves the electron transport chain and ATP synthase, which generate ATP from the energy released by the flow of electrons.


How does ATP couple exergonic and endergonic reactions?

Energy is usually released from the ATP molecule to do work in the cell by a reaction that removes one of the phosphate- oxygen groups, leaving adenosine disphosphate (ADP). When the ATP converts to ADP, the ATP is said to be spent. Then the ADP is usually immediately recycled in mitochondria where it is recharged and comes out again as ATP.

What makes energy ATP?

ATP holds energy in its phosphate bond. When ATP's third phosphate is broken, it releases a lot of energy, often enough to drive a reaction forward.


Does cardiac muscle makes most of its ATP via anaerobic mechanisms?

No, Cardiac muscle makes most of its ATP via aerobic mechanisms (not anaerobic mechanisms).


What is produced by the reaction of the light dependent reaction?

ATP and NADHP


What reaction in photosynthesis makes ATP?

Respiration: Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + ATP + Water Photosynthesis: Carbon Dioxide + water + sunlight = Glucose + Oxygen


Why is the production of ATP limited in the first three stages of cellular respiration?

Because it's the most efficient way for cells to get ATP, and those processes have been designed over time to be specialized in making ATP. However, this doesn't mean that the three stages of cellular respiration is the only way to make ATP. In photosynthesis for example, light reaction in the thylakoid membrane makes ATP in addition to NADPH so it may be used in the light independent reaction.


Is ATP conversion to ADP anabolic or catabolic?

Energy in the body is formed when ATP is broken down into ADP. This reaction is therefore exothermic. Thus, the reverse reaction is going to be endothermic because energy is required in order to attach the phosphate to the ADP.


Do cardiac muscle makes most of its ATP via anaerobic pathways?

no
