To make ATP, cells must join together ADP & a phosphate using energy from food.
Q. How does an inductor discharge?
When the current through an inductor is increased, it drops a voltage opposing the direction of current flow, acting as a power load. In this condition, the inductor is said to be discharging, because its store of energy is decreasing as it releases energy from its magnetic field to the rest of the circuit.
Q. Is ADP or ATP more like a fully charged battery and why?
ADP and ATP are like batteries because they store energy in the chemical bonds they contain. ADP has only two phosphate groups (and fewer bonds), so it’s like a par- tially charged battery. ATP has three phos- phate groups, so it is like a fully charged battery and has more bonds available for energy storage.
Q. What molecule will your body break down last in order to get ATP?
The last phosphate bond holds the most energy (approx. 7 kcal/mole). It is called the pyrophosphate bond. In order to release it’s energy to the body, ATP breaks down into ADP [Adenosine Diphosphate(2 phosphates)] and an inorganic phosphate group and releases energy from the pyrophosphate bond.
Q. What molecule will your body break down first in order to get ATP?
Carbohydrates are the bodies preferred source of food energy for the synthesis of ATP, with one gram of CHO providing four calories of energy. Once digested carbohydrates are broken down into glucose and chemical reactions involving glucose then produce ATP.
Q. What inhibits ATP synthesis?
Antibiotics efrapeptins and aurovertins inhibit both synthesis and hydrolysis of ATP by ATP synthase. The efrapeptins bind to ATP synthase at a site extending from the rotor, across the central cavity of the enzyme, into the specific β-subunit catalytic site.
Q. What would happen if you stopped cellular respiration in an animal?
If cellular respiration stops, a cell dies because if cellular respiration ceases, the cell will switch to using pyruvate or a pyruvate-derived…
