  1. ATP

  2. What does ATP stand for? • Adenosine Triphosphate

  3. To which macromolecule class does ATP belong? • Nucleic Acids

  4. What is the structure of ATP? Adenine, a nitrogenous base 3 phosphates Ribose, a sugar

  5. What is the function of ATP? • To provide energy for the cell to use • Sugar energy is converted to ATP energy. • ATP is the energy “currency” of the cell.

  6. Where in my cells can I use ATP? • Active transport • Endocytosis, exocytosis • Building and breaking apart molecules • Muscle contractions

  7. When we “use” ATP, what does this mean?

  8. When we “use” ATP, what does this mean?
