How is the energy in ATP used in the living cell?

Question

biol essay haha simple question but very long answers, looking for a way to narrow it down?

Answer 1

well ATP is called adenosine triphosphate...its an adenine group with 3 phosphates attached to it.

when a bond between the phosphates break, energy is released for the cell to use.

the sequence is :ATP -> ADP -> AMP

keep in mind, it takes way less energy to rebuild the bond, than the actual amount of energy that is released once the bond is broken.

ATP changing into ADP is used in the many steps of cellular respiration

Answer 3

ATP is adenosine triphosphate..it has three high energy bonds..by breaking each bonds, energy will be released..ATP --> ADP+Pi --> AMP+PPi..to break the bonds,we need ATPase enzyme..sorry i dont remember the values of energy released..
