Given the hydrolysis of 1 mole of , which reaction could be driven by hydrolyzing 2 moles of ATP?
Given that the hydrolysis of 1 mole of ATP has delta G of , if 2 moles of ATP are hydrolyzed, delta
. Reaction D has a delta G of
; when coupled with the hydrolization of 2 moles of ATP, delta G will be
. As this is negative, it is indicated that this will be a spontaneous reaction, or can proceed without input of energy.
Compare your answer with the correct one above
ATP coupling describes the process through which hydrolysis of ATP can drive a __ reaction
ATP coupling is the process where hydrolysis of ATP (a thermodynamically favorable, negative delta G, or spontaneous reaction) is coupled with a thermodynamically unfavorable reaction (a reaction that cannot proceed without energy input).
Compare your answer with the correct one above
Which of the following is an endergonic reaction?
An endergonic reaction requires input of energy; delta G will be positive. Hydrolysis of ATP, cellular respiration, and catabolism (breakdown of a large molecule) are exergonic processes. The Na+/K+ pump is endergonic, as it requires energy. This process is coupled with ATP hydrolysis to allow it to proceed.

Which is true of an exergonic reaction?
Exergonic reactions are reactions that release energy. Endergonic reactions are reactions that require energy to proceed. Exergonic reactions can occur spontaneously, or are thermodynamically favorable. Endergonic reactions cannot occur spontaneously, or are thermodynamically unfavorable.

ATP phosphorylation (ADP+ Pi-> ATP+ H2O) is what type of reaction?
ATP hydrolysis is exergonic. ATP phosphorylation is the reverse of ATP hydrolysis, and thus is endergonic.

If the reaction for ATP hydrolysis is coupled with the reaction glucose+ sucrose-> fructose,
, what is the net delta G?
Through ATP coupling, the hydrolysis of ATP can allow the second, thermodynamically unfavorable reaction to proceed. . As the resulting delta
is negative, this will be thermodynamically favorable.

Which is NOT a reason that the phosphoanhydride bonds of ATP are high energy?
The phosphoanhydride bonds of ATP, or the bonds between phosphate molecules, are high energy. This is due to the close proximity of positively charged phosphate and negatively charged oxygen; these charges repel. Also, there is resonance stabilization of the products of ATP hydrolysis (ADP and Pi); thus ADP is more stable than ATP. Additionally, entropy is increased when ATP is hydrolyzed; the second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of a system always increases.

Which is not part of an ATP molecule?
ATP consists of 3 phosphate groups, a ribose sugar, and adenine.

Which is true of an ATP molecule?
ATP is unstable; there is close proximity of positively charged phosphate and negatively charged oxygen; these charges repel. When hydrolyzed, delta G is <0 (exergonic). ATP is not used for long term-energy storage, as it is unstable. When hydrolyzed, a phosphoanhydride bond is broken.

Which is true of ADP
When ATP is hydrolyzed and a phosphoanhydride bond is broken, ADP and a phosphate are the products. ADP then has 2 phosphate groups.

Which cellular process produces ATP?
Cellular respiration is the process through which ATP is produced through the oxidation of glucose.

What is the primary energy currency for cells?
ATP is the primary energy currency for cells. The phosphoanhydride bonds of ATP, or the bonds between phosphate molecules, are high energy. This is due to the close proximity of positively charged phosphate and negatively charged oxygen; these charges repel. Also, there is resonance stabilization of the products of ATP hydrolysis (ADP and Pi); thus ADP is more stable than ATP. Carbohydrates are broken down during glycolysis to produce ATP.
