2
ATP A compound that stores energy Stands for Adenosine triphosphate Made up of 3 parts 5 carbon sugar Adenosine 3 Phosphates
4
Making Energy with ATP Energy is released when a bond holding the phosphate group is broken. The energy is used by the cell to do work.
5
How Cells use Energy Mechanical functions Moving cilia/flagellum Muscle contraction Active transport Sodium-Potassium Pump Building and breaking down large molecules Starch, glycogen, amino acids etc.
6
The ATP Cycle Energy is stored in chemical bonds. Energy is released by breaking the chemical bonds and is used to power cell activities. Energy is depleted and a new molecule ADP is formed. Energy is created by using energy released from other chemical reactions to bond a phosphate group to ADP...making ATP.
7
ATP Cycle
8
ADP is ATP minus 1 P ATP = Adenosine triphosphate ADP = Adenosine diphosphate When energy is used one phosphate group is removed from ATP and ADP is formed.
10
Organisms and ATP Two Groups based on how they obtain food: Autotrophs – Producers Heterotrophs – Consumers Food = Organic compounds that can be broken down into energy
11
Autotrophs Make food from carbon dioxide and the sun’s energy. Examples: Plants, algae, some bacteria Usually make Glucose as food molecule. Sunlight is not absolutely needed, but is most commonly used. Hydrothermal Vents
12
Heterotrophs Cannot make their own food. Dependent on the consumption of autotrophs or other heterotrophs for food. The energy in the food is: Lost and expelled as waste. Used for cellular processes. Stored by the organism for future use.
