Document Summary

Adenosine triphosphate (atp) is the most widely used energy storage molecule among organisms. Atp components: nitrogenous base (adenine, sugar (ribose, three phosphate groups (most important part for our purposes) Bonds between third and second phosphate groups are the high-energy bonds when broken they release energy. Unstable because there is a negative charge on each phosphate group. 7. 3kcal of energy is released for each molecule of atp hydrolysed with water: exergonic reaction, used to drive endergonic reactions. Atp + water = adp + pi ( g = -7. 3 kcal/mol) Couple the hydrolysis of atp with the synthesis of g6p. Coupling ensures the reaction will go in the desired direction, since synthesis of. Coupling just means they happen at the same time in the same place. More energy is released than is needed to drive this reaction: net g is negative, meaning it is spontaneous.
