The reason ATP as a molecule is used for energy in the cell is due to its instable structure. As such, because it wants to change, turning it into ADP actually releases energy.

Why is ATP am example of chemical potential energy?
Because ATP stores chemical energy in its chemical bonds.
Used to convert ADP to ATP by transfer of a high-energy phosphate group A reserve high-energy compound?
An enzyme called ATP synthetase.
What is the most common high energy compound?
ATP
What is the most abundant high energy compound in cell?
ATP
What two electron carrier molecules feed electrons into the electron transport chain?
NADH and FADH give high energy e- to the ETC which produces a high concentration gradient of hydrogen ions which then feed down into ATP synthase. The energy of the hydrogen ions moving down the ATP synthase generates the production of 36ATP in the mitochondria cristae.
chemoorganotrophs?
oxidize organic molecules with high potential energy (sugars), ATP made by cellular respiration or via fermentation pathways with sugars as e- donor
What is the process called when potential energy in ATP is released when the terminal high-enerhy bond is broken?
Hydrolysis
The potential energy in ATP is released when the terminal high energy bond is broken by a process called what?
Hydrolysis
Is ATP kenetic energy?
No, ATP represents potential energy.
How do ATP and ADP differ in amount of potential energy?
ADP has less potential energy than ATP has. In fact, there are 7.3 kc less energy in ADP than in ATP.
How do ADP and ATP differ in amount of potential chemical energy?
ADP has less potential energy than ATP has. In fact, there are 7.3 kc less energy in ADP than in ATP.
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.
ATP production formula?
adp+p(i)--->atp ADP +P ---> ATP
Why is ATP am example of chemical potential energy?
Because ATP stores chemical energy in its chemical bonds.
What type of animal tissue has a high ATP requirement?
The adipose and skeletal muscles tissues are the animal tissues that have the high ATP requirement. The high ATP requirement is important because of their functions.
What is the role of ATP in cellular respiration?
It forms high-energy ATP
Which high energy electrocarrier is regenerated during fermentation that allows cells to continue to make ATP using glycolysis?
everything is true execpt th e "NADPH" part. It's NADH not NADPH. hope this helps:)
