ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate, it is the main energy currency for cells. It is produced in cellular respiration and powers numerous cellular processes. ATP is often referred to as the "energy currency" of the cell.

True or false ATP is a portable form of energy currency inside cells?

True. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is often referred to as the "energy currency" of cells because it stores and releases energy for cellular processes. It is a portable form of energy that can be easily utilized by different cellular activities.


Sort the statements into the appropriate bin depending on whether or not they correctly describe some aspect of substrate-level phosphorylation in glycolysis?

Correct Statements:One of the substrates is a molecule derived from the breakdown of glucoseA bond must be broken between an organic molecule and phosphate before ATP can formAn enzyme is required in order for the reaction to occurIncorrect Statements:The phosphate group added to ADP to make ATP comes from free inorganic phosphate ionsThe enzymes involved in ATP synthesis must be attached to a membrane to produce ATP


Proton pump channels are used to make ADP from ATP during chemiosmosis?

Proton pump channels are actually used to create a proton gradient across a membrane during chemiosmosis. This gradient drives the enzyme ATP synthase to convert ADP and inorganic phosphate into ATP.


What statements is TRUE about bases?

Bases are substances that can accept protons, they have a pH higher than 7, and they typically feel slippery or soapy to the touch.


What is the difference between ATPase and ATP synthase?

ATPase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes ATP to ADP and inorganic phosphate, releasing energy in the process. ATP synthase is an enzyme that uses the energy released from a proton gradient to catalyze the formation of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate. In essence, ATPase breaks down ATP, while ATP synthase synthesizes ATP.
