Question
VI.
A. ATP provides the energy for energy consuming endergonic and exergonic reactions. Which requires a small input of activation energy. When the chemical bond within an ATP is broken, energy is released and can be harnessed for cellular work. The more bonds in the molecule, the more potential energy it contains.
Molecular Structure:
Energy diagram:
ADP + Pi + Free energy = ATP +H2O
ADP is combined with a phosphate to form ATP in the following above reaction
B. Types of cellular work
chemical work, converts polymers to monomers, an example is a cell creating more molecules
mechanical work, contraction of muscle, an example is the beating of cilia, muscle contraction.
Transport work- pumping substance across a membrane like sending ions across a plasma membrane. Sending a substance such as protein around the cell is also a form of transport work.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CHECK MY ANSWER TO ENSURE IT IS CORRECT. THANKS
6. ATP hydrolysis is a highly exergonic reaction ATP H2O ADP +Pi G ~-30kJ/mol A. Why do you think energy is released upon ATP hydrolysis? Draw an energy diagram for the reaction above. (2.5 points) B. ATP is often referred to as energy currency of the cell. Name 3 different types of cellular "work" that ATP powers. Give an example of each. (2.5 points)Explanation / Answer
yes your anser is looking right
(a) in a part ATP is break down and give energy. usually ATP break down in to ADP and then in to the AMP. In each step energy is released and relese of this energy will be consumed by the organisms for the various works.
