ATP=ENERGY BIOLOGY I
ATP • ATP = Adenosine Triphosphate • Is used to store and release energy • Is made when organisms break down food • Has three parts • Adenine • Ribose sugar • Three phosphate group • Think of ATP as a fully charged battery
ADP • ADP= Adenosine Diphosphate • Has three parts • Adenine • Ribose sugar • Two phosphate group • Think of ADP as a half charged battery
ADP + 1 phosphate = ATP • When the extra phosphate is added to ADP energy is stored ( the half charged battery is now fully charged)
ATP- 1 Phosphate = ADP + ENERGY • When a phosphate group is removed from ATP energy is released.
ENERGY • ATP is used to store energy but not for long periods of time(lipids are used to energy for long periods of time) • Cells use the energy from carbohydrates to add phosphate to ADP to keep creating ATP when needed.
