What reaction breaks the bonds that join the phosphate groups in an ATP molecule?

∙ 13y ago
In aerobic organisms, the reaction that bonds ADP (*adenosine diphosphate) with P (phosphate) to form ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is called substrate level phosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation.
ADP + P + Energy <--> ATP
<--> means the reaction can take place in both directions.
*adenosine is adenine and ribose chemically combined.
Refer to the related link for an illustration of the formation of ATP.

∙ 12y agoI think both phosphorylases as well water molecules (hydrolysis) can break those P-O-P bonds in ATP

How many phosphate groups are there in a molecule of APT?
3 phosphate groups
What molecule stores energy in its chemical bond for quick easy use by cells?
Adenosine triphosphate, abbreviated ATP. The molecule contains adenosine and three phosphate groups. When the cell needs energy, the bond between the second and third phosphate groups breaks, and the energy released is used by the cell to do work.
What ATP bond is broken to release energy?
ATP stands for Adenosine Tri-Phosphate. This means there are three phosphate groups stuck together on the tail of the molecule. Packing that many negatively charged groups together takes energy which is stored in the structure. When the bond between the second and third phosphates is broken, energy is released and the molecule becomes ADP or Adenosine Di-Phosphate.
What is a high energy bond of an ATP molecule is located between?
two phosphate groups
How many phosphate groups are found in ADP?
There are three phosphate groups in an ATP molecule. Go on to Google images and type in ATP or adenosine triphosphate. Look for a picture that contains chemical symbols and lines. Now, commonly on the right hand side you will see the bulk of the picture. On the left should be a line with P's and O's in the middle of it. The P's of course are the phosphates. The P closest to the bulk is called the alpha phosphate. then working out you have the beta phosphate and then the gamma phosphate. The symbols for these phosphates are the Greek letters for Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.
What type of reaction breaks the bonds that join the phosphate groups in an ATP molecule?
Hydrolysis. DePhosphorylation deals with Kinase Enzymes.
How many phosphate groups groups are in one molecule of ADP?
There are two phosphate groups in one molecule of ADP.
How many phosphate groups are there in a molecule of APT?
3 phosphate groups
Where are phosphate groups in a DNA molecule?
The DNA backbone, are made of alternating sugars and phosphate groups.
What is left after ATP molecule loses a phosphate molecule?
Adenosine diphosphate. ADP. Two phosphate groups.
What molecule traps energy within cells when glucose breaks down?
ATP,energy is stored mainly between bonds between phosphate groups
What molecule stores energy in its chemical bond for quick easy use by cells?
Adenosine triphosphate, abbreviated ATP. The molecule contains adenosine and three phosphate groups. When the cell needs energy, the bond between the second and third phosphate groups breaks, and the energy released is used by the cell to do work.
Are phosphate groups part of a DNA molecule?
Yes
How do the ATP and ADP molecules look different?
An ATP molecule has an extra phosphate group compared to an ADP molecule. This is because ATP has 3 phosphate groups as where ADP only has two phosphate groups.
What bond in ATP breaks to release energy during the formation of ADP?
The major molecule involved in energy release and storage is ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE. It contains a large ADENOSINE molecule connected to three PHOSPHATE groups via PHOSPHATE bond. When the bond that connects one of the three PHOSPHATE groups to the ADENOSINE molecule is broken down, energy is released. The resulting molecule would be ADENOSINE DIPHOSPHATE, one free PHOSPHATE group and energy.
What 3 things make up an ATP molecule?
The nitrogen base adenine, a ribose sugar molecule, and three phosphate groups.
The potential energy in an ATP molecule is derived mainly from its three phosphate groups?
The potential energy in an ATP molecule is derived from its three phosphate groups that are linked by phosphate bonds. The energy of ATP is locked within these bonds.
