Energy and LifeATP

ATP:

Adenosine triphosphate.Has unstable phosphate bonds.Used by cells as an energy source for cellular activity.Produced mainly from the process of cellular respiration.Eukaryotic cells which require a lot of energy, will have a lot of mitochondria (site of cell resp.)

HOW ATP DOES WORK

TYPE OF WORKDESCRIPTION

Mechanical Beating of cilia or flagellaMuscular contractionMovement

Transport Active transportProton Pumps (H+ and Na+/K)

Chemical Endergonic reactions (require energy)Polymerization (formation of polymers such as carbs, lipids, etc.)
