Document Summary

Composed of nitrogenous base adenine, the sugar ribose, and three phosphate groups. Energy is stored in the phosphoanhydride bonds between the phosphate groups. Released by atp hydrolysis, for every molecule hydrolyzed 7. 3 kilocals are released. The products of atp + water has a lower energy then the reactants. Energy coupling is the transfer of energy from one chemical reaction to another. Without energy coupling all atp hydrolysis would do would be creating heat, energy coupling allows the energy to be useful to other reactions. Consider the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose 6 phosphate. This cannot occur spontaneously because it involves a positive /\g value. Cells will instead use energy from atp hydrolysis to make this happen. Atp is rst hydrolyzed to adp and p. This creates an overall (-4. 0kcal/mol) change in free energy value that is negative, so the reaction can occur spontaneously.
