Presentation Transcript

  1. ATP and ADP How the cell uses energy

  2. Cells need energy to perform the following functions • Make Proteins • Perform chemical reactions • Transport chemicals • Get chemical energy (Eat) • Grow • Move • Reproduce

  3. ALL Cells get energy from Cellular respiration • All cells either perform aerobic cellular respiration or anaerobic cellular respiration (Fermentation) to generate ATP.

  4. ALL Cells get energy from breaking down glucose into smaller molecules • All cells (whether they use oxygen or not) use glucose as the reactant for cellular respiration. • All that glucose comes from photosynthesis performed by plants and algae.

  5. Cells generate ATP as the product of cellular respiration. • ATP is a nucleic acid called Adenosine Triphosphate. • ATP is created by using the energy from cellular respiration, and can be used for energy by the cell.

  6. Cells create ATP from a moleculae called ADP • ADP is a nucleic acid called Adenosine Diphosphate. • ADP is a “used up” form of ATP. It requires energy to add a phosphate group to ADP to make it ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate).

  7. ADP ATP • ATP is created by adding a phosphate group to ADP. This requires energy.

  8. ATP ADP • ATP is “used up” for energy by the cell and converted back into ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate)
