Objectives Analyze and explain the structure and cycle of ATP and how it releases energy
It’s all about ATP
Tasks to do Each group will be assigned a task to do You have 20 minutes to finish the task
Introduction: The molecule ATP ATP is the common energy currency of cells. When a cell requires energy it uses ATP. A molecule of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) consists of a base, a sugar and 3 phosphate molecules P P P ATP
P P P ATP ADP + P P P + P
Where is ADP transformed back into ATP? In the Mitochondria
Examples of ATP usage: A muscle cell needs ATP to contract Active transport molecule use ATP Some reactions are catalyzed by ATP hydrolysis
