ATP and Energy Notes
1. Energy is the _______________________________________
2. Potential energy – energy that is ___________________________
3. Kinetic energy – energy that is _______________________________
4. Chemical energy - energy that is stored in ________________________________,
such as the bonds of food molecules.
**ATP is the type of chemical energy used by our ____________________.
***Which organelle provides ATP for our cells? _________________________
WHAT DOES AN ATP MOLECULE LOOK LIKE? (STRUCTURE)


WHAT DOES ATP STAND FOR?
ADENOSINE _________________________________

WHAT IF WE TAKE OFF ONE PHOSPHATE (p) TO MAKE ADP?
ADENOSINE _______________________________
WHAT IF WE TAKE OFF TWO PHOSPHATES (P-P) TO MAKE AMP?
ADENOSINE _____________________________

In other words, mono = _______, di = ________, tri = _______

WHERE DOES ATP STORE ITS ENERGY?

ENERGY IS STORED IN THE ________________________________
**HOW DOES A CELL RELEASE THE ENERGY FROM THE ATP?
**ONCE ENERGY HAS BEEN RELEASED, AND A PHOSPHATE IS GONE, ATP
BECOMES _____________.
HOW DOES THE MITOCHONDRIA MAKE MORE ATP?
IT “RECYCLES” ADP BY ADDING A ______________________________________________
THIS IS CALLED THE ATP- ADP CYCLE:
ATP
ADP
*** ALL CELLS USE ATP, BUT THEY GET IT FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES.
1. AUTOTROPHS, OR ______________________________
2. HETEROTROPHS, OR ____________________________
All cells have ATP, but some transform light into ATP and others get ATP from food.
Autotrophs - plants; _________________________ food from light energy.
Heterotrophs - animals; etc.; get food and break it down to get energy (ATP) in the
process of _______________________

A little bit of a Chemistry Review!!!

Activation energy – energy needed to start a chemical reaction

Enzymes – lower the amount of activation needed to start a chemical reaction

Endergonic (endothermic) reactions – uses more energy than it gives off; will be cold

Exergonic (exothermic) reactions – gives off more energy than it uses; will be warm
