    ATP transfers energy within cells through chemical reactions involving its conversion between ATP and ADP. ATP contains three phosphate groups and is the body's main source of energy, being used to power various cellular processes. When a phosphate is removed, ATP becomes the lower energy ADP, but ADP can regain a phosphate through cellular respiration to re-form high-energy ATP. This ATP-ADP cycle allows the constant transfer and use of biochemical energy within living systems.

    1 Develop and use models to explain how


    chemical reactions among ATP, ADP, and inorganic
    phosphate act to transfer chemical energy within cells.
    • B-3.3 Recognize the overall structure of adenosine
    triphosphate (ATP)---namely, adenine, the sugar ribose,
    and three phosphate groups ---and summarize its
    function including the ATP-ADP [adenosine
    diphosphate] cycle
    ATP: The Cell’s Currency
     Life processes require a constant supply of energy.
     Cells use energy that is stored in the bonds of certain
    organic molecules.
     Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule that
    transfers energy from the breakdown of food
    molecules to cell processes.
    ATP: Structure
     Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the most important
    biological molecule that supplies energy to the cell.
     A molecule of ATP is composed of three parts bonded
    together by “high energy” bonds:
    1. A nitrogenous base (adenine)
    2. • A sugar (ribose)
    3. • Three phosphate groups (triphosphate)

    ATP
    Adenine Ribose 3 Phosphate groups
    ATP-ADP Cycle
     The energy stored in ATP is released when a phosphate group is
    removed from the molecule.
     ATP has three phosphate groups, but the bond holding the third
    phosphate groups is very easily broken.
     When the phosphate is removed, ATP becomes ADP—
    adenosine diphosphate
     A phosphate is released into the cytoplasm and energy is
    released.
     ADP is a lower energy molecule than ATP, but can be converted
    to ATP by the addition of a phosphate group.
     ATP → ADP + phosphate + energy available for cell processes
    How do you “recharge” the battery?
     ADP is continually converted to ATP by the addition of a
    phosphate during the process of cellular respiration.
     ATP carries much more energy than ADP.
     As the cell requires more energy, it uses energy from the
    breakdown of food molecules to attach a free phosphate
    group to an ADP molecule in order to make ATP.
    ADP + phosphate + energy from breakdown of food
    molecules→ ATP
    When is ATP used?
     ATP is consumed in the cell by energy-requiring
    processes and can be generated by energy-releasing
    processes.
     In this way ATP transfers energy between separate
    biochemical reactions in the cell.
     ATP is the main energy source for the majority of cellular
    functions.
     This includes the production of organic molecules,
    including DNA and, and proteins.
     ATP also plays a critical role in the transport of organic
    molecules across cell membranes, for example during
    exocytosis and endocytosis
    Types of Reactions
     Exergonic(energy-yielding)
     Produces ATP
     Ex. Cellular respiration
     Endergonic (energy-requiring) reactions
     Requires ATP
     Ex. Photosynthesis
    ATP VS ADP
    ATP ADP
