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.)
