    1 - ATP-ADP - Cycle

    Uploaded by

    Edward Ganggang
    The ATP-ADP cycle describes how energy is stored and released in cells through the transformation of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and ADP (adenosine diphosphate). ATP stores and transports energy within cells and is converted to ADP while releasing energy, which can then be re-converted back to ATP by cellular processes, following the laws of thermodynamics that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another. This cycle allows cells to use biochemical energy from carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins to power processes like movement, protein synthesis, and active transport.

    ATP-ADP Cycle
    • ATP – ADP Cycle
    Transformation of Energy
    – Energy is the ability to do work.

    – Thermodynamics is the study of the flow and transformation


    of energy in the universe.
    Laws of Thermodynamics

    – First law - Energy can be converted from one form to


    another, but it cannot be created nor destroyed.

    – Second law - Energy cannot be converted without


    the loss of usable energy.

    HE
    AT
    • Carbohydrates
    – most commonly broken down to make
    ATP.
    – not stored in large amounts
    – up to 36 ATP from one glucose molecule

    • Lipids
    – store the most energy.
    – 80% of energy in your body
    – About 146 ATP from a triglyceride

    • Proteins
    – least likely to be broken down to make ATP.
    – amino acids not usually needed for energy
    – about the same amount of energy as a carb.
    ATP-ADP Cycle
    Using Biochemical Energy

    1) Movement in cell

    2) Protein synthesis

    3) Active Transport

    (Low to high concentration across membrane)
