How much ATP is produced if there is no oxygen?

If there is no oxygen present, cells can still produce ATP through anaerobic metabolism, specifically through glycolysis. In glycolysis, one molecule of glucose produces a net of 2 ATP molecules. This is the only way for cells to produce ATP in the absence of oxygen.


What chemical do cells use as an immediate source of energy?

ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is often referred to as the cells' "battery substance" because it is used as a coenzyme in reactions that require energy. It is produced in cellular respiration (using nutrients) from AMP (~ monophosphate) and ADP (~ diphosphate); in this process it basically gains phosphate groups. ATP then often binds to enzymes, transferring phosphate groups and that way energy. Note that ATP has other uses and is also one of the basic components of DNA.


What is the best way to describe the function of the mitochondria?

It is the power generating site. It produce ATP in cells


Why is the production of ATP limited in the first three stages of cellular respiration?

Because it's the most efficient way for cells to get ATP, and those processes have been designed over time to be specialized in making ATP. However, this doesn't mean that the three stages of cellular respiration is the only way to make ATP. In photosynthesis for example, light reaction in the thylakoid membrane makes ATP in addition to NADPH so it may be used in the light independent reaction.


What is the purpose of the ATP?

Atp is the battery [Biochemical energy transfer Molecule] required for all Cell processes. It stores and releases energy that is often used by proteins to function (conformational change, phosphorylation, enzymatic catalysis, etc.).

What is the main way cells get energy from ATP?

Cells get energy from ATP through hydrolysis, which is the process of breaking down ATP into ADP and inorganic phosphate. This reaction releases energy that can be used by the cell for various cellular processes.


What are two ways cells trap energy?

One way is that they store it in bonds (E.G., ATP in its phosphate bonds).

How is ADP related to ATP?

it is the ratio of the ADP and ATP produced in a cell, based on the viable conditions of the cell. A proliferating cell produces more ATP than ADP. This even inlcudes cancerous cells that are proliferating out of contorl. Meanwhile, cells that are undergoing apoptosis, or natural programmed cell death, or cells that are undergoing necrosis, or death induced by harsh environmental factors, have more ADP compared to ATP because the cell is not proudcing ATP while hydrolyzing the remaining ATP into ADP. ATP, by the way, is one of the molecules that is used for energy to carry out tasks in cells.

Is oxygen necessary for the produstion of all ATP in cells why or why not?

Oxygen is not necessary for the production of all ATP in cells. ATP can be produced through anaerobic processes like glycolysis which do not require oxygen. However, aerobic respiration, which does require oxygen, is a more efficient way to produce ATP.

What generate ATP?

Generate ATP are what makes sugar in cells. The body needs generate ATP.

Function of ATP?

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the primary energy carrier in cells. It provides energy for cellular processes such as muscle contraction, active transport of molecules across cell membranes, and synthesis of macromolecules like proteins and nucleic acids. When ATP is broken down into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate, energy is released for these cellular activities.


Can your body get ATP directly from water?

No water isn't used energetically that way. It can be used to hydrolyze ATP into ADP, releasing energy and an inorganic phosphate.
