Breaking the bonds in ATP releases the energy in the bonds. Making ATP would "trap" the energy. The difference in the ion gradient across a membrane happens during cellular respiration. The enzyme ATP synthase makes ATP. It allows protons to pass through the membrane using the kinetic energy to add P to ADP making ATP. ATP production occurs in chloroplasts and mitochondria.

How is the energy trapped in ATP?

Energy is trapped in ATP through the biological processes of the Krebs Cycle and the catabolic processes involved in photosynthesis. The ATP or adenosine triphosphate captures the energy that is created by the cellular reactions.


What molecule has energy trapped in its bonds?

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule that stores energy in its high-energy phosphate bonds. This energy can be released when ATP is broken down into adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate, providing energy for cellular processes.


Why is the sun a important part of energy formation?

Sunlight gets trapped in the chlorophyll, which convert it into chemical energy. (ATP) The cell cannot use raw sunlight, but it has to use some sort of energy to perform most tasks.

Why is cellular respiration so important to all living things?

Cellular respiration is the process that produces usable cellular energy in the form of ATP. The organisms that run cellular respiration rely on it because their cells need the energy in order to function and live.


What is the name of the energy currency used in the cell?

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency used in cells. It stores and releases energy for cellular processes through the hydrolysis of its high-energy phosphate bonds.

Describe how energy from sunlight is transfered to ATP and NADPH and what are they used for?

In case of plants, there is biological reduction. Carbon bi oxide and water is converted to glucose. Energy from sunlight is trapped in the form of ATP in chlorophyl. This ATP is used to in biological reduction. Energy consumed in biological reduction is same photon by photon, to energy released during biological or chemical oxidation. ( Law of conservation of energy in chemical reactions.)
