1. ATP: Adenosine Triphosphate The energy currency for cells

2. The energy cells need is stored in chemicals. Glucose

3. ATP is the energy currency cells can utilize.

4. Energy is stored within the phosphate bonds of ATP.

5. Removing a phosphate (through hydrolysis) releases energy for cellular work. Energy

6. In phosphorylation, a phosphate is given to a molecule/structure, thus transferring energy.

7. ATP is needed for muscle movement, cell transport and chemical reactions.

8. The ATP molecule (matter) is recyclable, but energy must be constantly supplied by food or sunlight.

9. ATP is needed for your cells to carry out work. You need energy from ATP for all sorts of activities! Activity kcal/hr (150 lbs pers)

10. ATP Homework Personalize the ATP cycle with activities and food that YOU like most! 1.Be sure to draw the structure of ATP and ADP + P as shown in class 2.Draw YOUR activity for “energy for working cells” 3.Draw YOUR food for “energy from food”
