The three characteristics which make ATP the common energy currency of all cells

Question

The three characteristics which make ATP the common energy currency of all cells are: small can be easy base through the molecule its carry big net of energy How is energy cycling tied to the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate)from ADP + Pi (adenosine diphosphate and a phosphate ion) and vice versa? Reduction oxidation reactions: Reduction is the gain/loss (choose one) of electrons and is _____. gonic.is gain of electron and its endergonic True/False: Oxidation can only occur if reduction occurs false Name 2 electron carriers (abbreviations are OK). FAD NAD Enzymatic Reactions Characteristics of enzymes: What macromolecule are enzymes made of?

Explanation / Answer

I.c. they store the energy, active transport

II. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate by the action of ATPase, an enzyme and it releases energy.

ATPATP synthase>ADP+Pi

The phosphate bond of ATP are broken down and forms ADP.

III.a Reduction is gain of electrons

b. True.

The oxidation reaction and the reduction are considered as half reactions because they together form a full reaction. oxidation always occurs with the reduction reaction. For something to be oxidised something else has to be reduce.

c. NAD, FAD
