Why is ATP an important in metabolism?
The aim of metabolism is to release energy from substance such as glucose or triglycerides. ADP (adenosine di phosphate) acts as a carrier and is activated during respiration (another phosphate is added, using a phosphate bond). When energy is required somewhere in the body (metabolism), the bond is broken, turning ATP into adp and supplying the energy needs. Thus without ATP, there cannot be metabolism.
Glycolysis depends upon a continuous supply of?
Glycolysis depends upon a continuous supply of glucose molecules as the starting substrate. These glucose molecules are then broken down into pyruvate through a series of enzymatic reactions to produce ATP, a critical source of energy for the cell.
Who invented the microchip for pets?
Mind ControlIn the Nexus magazine article entitled "The Microchip and the Mark of the Beast", Dr. Carl Sanders tells about the project which lead to the invention of the microchip which may be the mark of the beast. Sanders became the leader of the project in 1968. They were told the microchip served medical purposes, but they found out later that the real reason for developing it was human identification. The microchip is recharged by body temperature changes. The scary thing is that it "can also be used for migraine headaches, behavior modification, upper/downer, sexual stimulant and sexual depressant", in other words for mind control. He is now concerned the chip will be misused, and he believes it "is going to be the positive identification and mark of the beast." IdentificationOf course, microchips are used for identification of pets (and other animals ). This by a small glass transponder (size as a grain of rise ) injected under the skin of the pet.
Describe the structure of ATP and how it stores energy?
Stable chemical bonds release energy as they form, and bond formation thermodynamically happens spontaneously. However, formation reactions often do require energy of activation to rearrange bonds and get reactions over activation barriers (which usually involves breaking bonds first before forming new ones). Stable bond formation is always exoergic. The structure of ATP has an ordered carbon compound as a backbone, but the part that is really critical is the phosphorous part - the triphosphate. Three phosphorous groups are connected by oxygens to each other, and there are also side oxygens connected to the phosphorous atoms. Under the normal conditions in the body, each of these oxygens has a negative charge, and as you know, electrons want to be with protons - the negative charges repel each other. These bunched up negative charges want to escape - to get away from each other, so there is a lot of potential energy here. If you remove just one of these phosphate groups from the end, so that there are just two phosphate groups, the molecule is much happier. This conversion from ATP to ADP is an extremely crucial reaction for the supplying of energy for life processes. Just the cutting of one bond with the accompanying rearrangement is sufficient to liberate about 7.3 kilocalories per mole = 30.6 kJ/mol. This is about the same as the energy in a single peanut. Why do chemical bonds appear to "store" energy? They certainly "contain" energy, but energy must be added to get any energy out. Where can the energy for breaking bonds come from -- only when stronger bonds are formed instead? This is the true driving energy for biochemistry, where cellular respiration provides energy by forming the strong oxygen bonds in carbon dioxide and water, breaking the weaker bonds in carbohydrates and sugars. In photosynthesis, energy from the sun is used to break the CO2 and H2O bonds (overall), and the fairly strong O2 bond is formed as well. The larger the difference between the bond energies of the formed products (CO2 and H2O) and the reactants, the more energy is available. So, in fact, more energy is "available" when the weakest bonds are broken in favor of the stronger bonds being formed. ATP provides energy when it transfers phosphate groups to more strongly bonded glucose or fructose phosphates.
What are the 3 steps of aerobic cellular respiration?
Aerobic respiration is the discharge of energy from glucose or another organic substrate in the presence of OxygenThe three stages of aerobic respiration are glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.Glycolysis takes place inside the cytoplasm; the citric acid cycle takes place inside the mitochondria, and the oxidative phosphorylation takes places in the mitochondria.Cellular respiration is in three stages as follows:GLYCOLYSISTakes place in the cytoplasm of the cell and is common to both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.glycolysis means literally that glucose is split and the 6 carbon glucose molecule is broken down to 2 X 3carbon molecules of Pyruvic acid. This produces a net gain of 2 ATP molecules.If oxygen is absent (anaerobic) in animal cells, such as muscle, 3C Pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid.In plant cells, such as yeast, pyruvic acid is converted to 2C Ethanol + CO2 (fermentation)In both of the above only 2 ATP molecules are produced per glucose molecule respired.If oxygen is present (aerobic), pyruvic acid enters the mitochondrion to the fluid matrix where Kreb's cycle stages occur.During Kreb's cycle Citric acid is initially formed and is then broken down in a series of enzyme controlled rections releasing CO2 (waste product) and hydrogen.Hydrogen is picked up by a hydrogen carrier molecule called NAD and transported to the hydrogen carrier sytem (Cytochrome sytem) on the cristae of the mitochondrion for the final stage of respiration.Cytochrome system- electron transport system:Hydrogen is passed along a chain of hydrogen carrier molecules by a series of oxidation and reduction reactions.each time a hydrogen molecule is passed along, a molecule of ATP is produced from ADP and phosphate.The final Hydrogen acceptor is oxygen and produces a molecule of water (the other waste product).In all, 36 ATP molecules are generated during the Cytochrome system, making a total of 38 ATP (36 from cytochrome system + 2 ATP from glycolysis) produced when Glucose is respired aerobically.This makes aerobic respiration 19X more efficient at producing ATP than anaerobic respiration.Hope this helps!
ADP can be recharged by adding what?
ADP can be recharged by adding another phosphate group to it, converting it back to ATP through phosphorylation. This process replenishes the energy stores that were used up when ATP was converted to ADP during cellular activities.
ADP can be recharged by adding?
ADP can be recharged by adding a phosphate group through the process of phosphorylation, which converts it back into ATP. This process is usually driven by energy released from cellular respiration.
Once ATP is converted into ADP p it must be a disassembled into components sugar base phosphates and then reassembled b recharged by chemiosmosis c converted into nadph d processed?
b) recharged by chemiosmosis ADP is rephosphorylated back into ATP through a process known as chemiosmosis, which occurs during cellular respiration or photosynthesis. This process utilizes a proton gradient across a membrane to drive the synthesis of ATP by the ATP synthase enzyme.
