ATP storyboard

• Create a storyboard about ATP.


You may use 8-12 panels.
• Your plot should be what is ATP,
its structure, function and
importance.
rubric
Content (10 points) –include the required
elements – title, plot, characters, setting,
conflict, solution
Illustration (5 points)– contains illustration for
each required elements
Spelling and grammar (5 points)– no errors,
clear presentation
Attractiveness (5 points) – design layout and
neatness
OBJECTIVES
• explain coupled reaction
processes and describe
• the role of ATP in energy
coupling and transfer
The Energy of Life

• The living cell is a miniature


chemical factory where
thousands of reactions occur
• The cell extracts energy and
applies energy to perform
work
ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE
( ATP)
• Adenosine triphosphate, or ATP,
is a small, relatively simple
molecule.
• It is the main energy currency of
cells
• The energy released by hydrolysis
(breakdown) of ATP is used to
power many energy-requiring
cellular reactions.

Structure
ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE
( ATP) hydrolysis reaction

ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP in the following


reaction:

ATP + H2O ⇋ ADP + Pi + energy

How is the energy released by ATP


hydrolysis used to power other
reactions in a cell?

energy coupling

2 types of reaction
• Exergonic reaction
• Endergonic reactions
ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE
( ATP)

energy coupling
• the process by which cells use
energy released from an
exergonic reaction (a reaction
that releases energy) to drive
an endergonic reaction (a
reaction that requires energy
input).
ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE
( ATP)
energy coupling

•Exergonic reaction: ATP → ADP +


Pi (releases energy)
•Endergonic reaction: Muscle
contraction or protein synthesis
(requires energy)
