Define the following terms (Cell metabolism)?

Question

ATP, ADP, Glucose, Organelle, Cellular growth and Enzyme.

Answer 1

ATP stands for Adenosine-5'-triphosphate, is an adenosine-derived nucleotide, C10H16N5O13P3, that contains high-energy phosphate bonds and is used to transport energy to cells for biochemical processes, including muscle contraction and enzymatic metabolism, through its hydrolysis to ADP. ATP is hydrolyzed to AMP when it is incorporated into DNA or RNA.

ADP stands for Adenosine diphosphate is A nucleotide, C10H15N5O10P2, composed of adenosine and two linked phosphate groups, that is converted to ATP for the storage of energy.

Organelle is a differentiated structure within a cell, such as a mitochondrion, vacuole, or chloroplast, that performs a specific function

Cell growth: Usually used to mean increase in the size of a population of cells though strictly should be reserved for an increase in cytoplasmic volume of an individual cell.

Enzyme: Any of numerous proteins or conjugated proteins produced by living organisms and functioning as biochemical catalysts.
