ATP: Adenosine Triphosphate
Bozeman Science
Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is the energy coinage of all life on our planet.
- •
ATP consists of adenine, a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups.
- •
When ATP is hydrolyzed, it becomes ADP + Pᵢ, releasing energy that can be used for cellular work such as active transport and muscle contraction.
Practice
12 questions • Multiple choice & Short answer
Exit Ticket
“Describe how ATP hydrolysis (the breaking of a phosphate bond) is coupled to the sodium-potassium pump to facilitate active transport. Be specific about the role of the phosphate group.”
