Explore the intriguing world of turgidity and ATP energy production in cells! Understand how turgor pressure maintains plant rigidity and delve into the role of ATP as the energy currency of cells. Unveil the chemical structure of ATP and learn how hydrolysis releases energy for cellular functions. Discover the enzymes involved in ATP breakdown and synthesis through the ADP-ATP cycle. Witness the magic of cellular respiration in plants and animals where ATP is generated. Dive into a captivating 4-panel cartoon illustrating the dynamic interplay between ATP, ADP, ATPase, ATP synthase, and energy production in cells.

Turgid: Distended or swollen, especially due to high fluid content. • Turgor pressure (turgidity) pushes the cell membrane against the cell wall. • Caused by the osmotic flow into vacuole. • Healthy plant cells are turgid and plants rely on turgidity to maintain rigidity.
What Is ATP? • Energy used by all cells • Adenosine TriPhosphate • Organic molecule containing high-energy phosphate bonds

What Does ATP Do for You? It supplies YOU withENERGY!
How Do We Get Energy From ATP? By breaking the high- energy bonds between the last two phosphates in ATP
What is the Process Called? HYDROLYSIS (Adding H2O)
What do you need to break down ATP? An Enzyme! ATPase
What do you need to make ATP? The reverse of the previous process occurs. Another Enzyme is used! ATP Synthase
The ADP-ATP Cycle ATPase ATP Synthase
When is ATP Made in the Body? During a Process called Cellular Respiration that takes place in both Plants & Animals
