What molecule forms when ATP loses a phosphate?
ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) looses a phosphate to form ADP (Adenosine diphosphate), and release energy.
What is one of the main chemical compounds that cells use to store and release chemical energy?
Adenosine triphosphate or ATP
Compound used by cells to store and release energy?
hydrogen bond The cellular mitochondria use oxygen for a process known as oxidative phosphorylation to generate ATP, or adenosine triphosphate.
How do plants use chemical reactions?
Trees and plants are living organisms, and therefore have the same needs as all other organisms. For example, they need to be able to fuel their cells with ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and to for that, they need to photosynthesize and produce molecules that can be broken down to release energy.
Develop an analogy to explain ATP and energy transfer?
Transfer of energy is explained by 1st law of thermodynamics. According to first law of thermodynamics , energy can be transferred or transformed form one form or the other but the total quanta of energy remains constant. The total energy in the universe is constant.
What substance is used in all cells to release energy?
adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
What do mitochondria release?
They release mainly CO2.It is a waste material of respiration.
What is ATP when is energy released from it?
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is converted to ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) when the 3rd phosphate bond is broken to release energy.
What molecule forms when ATP loses a phosphate?
ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) looses a phosphate to form ADP (Adenosine diphosphate), and release energy.
Like glucose are burned in the mitochondria to release cellular energy know as?
ATP (Adenosine TriPhosphate)
What is one of the main chemical compounds that cells use to store and release chemical energy?
Adenosine triphosphate or ATP
Which is the primary molecule used by cells to capture energy and later release it during chemical reactions?
adenosine triphosphate, ATP
How does adenosine triphosphate carry energy?
The energy in ATP is stored in the bonds between the phosphate groups. To release energy ATP breaks off one of the phosphate groups, which makes it ATP.
Why mitochondria is called power house of cell?
produces adenosine triphosphate, known as ATP. Hydrolysis causes ATP to release energy, as it loses a phosphate group (becomes adenosine diphosphate, ADP)
What is adenosine triphosphate do?
Mainly it acts as a energy carrier.It stores energy between phosphate bonds.It release about 33kJ per mole.
What do cells rely on to store and release energy?
Carbohydrates
What is used by cells to store and release energy?
Oxygen is used by the mitochondria for a process called oxidative phosphorylation to generate energy for the cell, producing ATP, or adenosine triphosphate.
