When ATP drives work in cells, phosphate groups don't just fly off into space. ATP energizes other molecules in cells by transferring phosphate groups to those molecules. This helps cells perform three main kinds of work: mechanical work, transport work, and chemical work.

Why do you have ATP?

You have ATP because you need energy to run the cells in your body. ATP is somewhat like a battery.

no, they need ATP


Is active transport ATP dependent?

Active transportation need energy.That energy is given by ATP.


What three things do your muscles need during the process of burning ATP?

In order to burn ATP your muscles need an action potential supplied by the motor neuron, calcium to trigger the opening of the binding sites on the actin filament, and magnesium to metabolize the ATP to ADP. Once the ATP is burned, the mitochondria in the sacroplasmic reticulum need to also have an abundance of glucose and oxygen to make more ATP.

Do you need ATP to get glycolysis started?

It releases the energy in Glucose. This helps form more ATP molecules


What molecule directly provides the energy you need for your muscles to contract?

Why do plant cells need to do cellular respiration if they can make ATP from sunlight?

Plants make ATP through cellular respiration. Photosynthesis, which requires sunlight, does not make ATP - but glucose - which is then converted to ATP by cellular respiration. Therefore plants still need respiration to make ATP.


What organelle stores energy for ATP to ADP?

All organelles need ATP in order to move and function, ergo all organelles need to hold ATP. However, if you're referring to the production of ATP, it occurs in mass quantity in the mitochondria.


Why do yeast cells need ATP?

YES Any type of respiration - aerobic or anaerobic - will produce ATPs. However, there are only two ATPs produced in fermentation. That is why gycolysis do not need oxygen to produce ATP, small quantity produce here only 2 net ATP


How is ATP regenerated from ADP?

One molecule of ADP can be easily formed to make one form of ATP. All you need to do is add one phosphate group to the ADP and ATP is formed.ADP + P + energy --> ATPADP + P + energy --> ATP
