Document Summary

Atp cycle: catabolic reactions (supply energy) comes in c-h bonds, oxidize and they can do work. They can driv the synthesis of atp from adp + p floating around. Atp reacts with hydrolysis (water) which gives adp + p. This energy does not come from bond breakage!!!! Energy is required to break bonds and energy is released when bonds are formed. Is is exergonic but it needs activation energy in atp to break those bonds. Atp is a very unstable molecule, the more unstable a molecule the more free energy it has. Adp is more stable, has low free energy (or less) This reaction releases energy because energy is released in forming the oh bond on the free phosphate. Lots of repulsion in atp because there are lots of negative oxygens. Entropy goes up after reaction: energy of atp is now distributed into 3 molecules (proton, inorganic phosphate,
