Exam preparation - The structure and function of ATP
9 important questions on Exam preparation - The structure and function of ATP
I) What are the components that make up a single ATP unit?
I) How are the components that make up a single ATP unit connected?
The R bonds to a P via a phosphoester bond
There are three P
Each pair of P connects by HE phosphoanhydride bonds.
Ii) Do catabolic reactions create or use ATP?
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
ii) In a catabolic reaction such as glycolysis, is ATP used or produced?
Other CTB reactions are preparation steps for other metabolic processes that produce ATP (ETC)
Iii) Do anabolic reactions create or use ATP?
Iii) In an anabolic reaction such as the assembly of a protein chain from individual amino acids, is ATP used or produced?
iv) How much energy is released from ATP when one of its phosphoanhydride bonds (that connect the phosphates together) is broken and it becomes ADP?
iv) What can the energy released from ATP be used for?
(v) What would happen after enough cells die from lack of ATP production?
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
