Energy Properties Small Easily Large Cellular Heat Quantities
| Front |
State 5 properties of ATP and explain why each makes it ideally suited to function as an energy transfer molecule. |
| Back |
Properties of ATP:- Small - moves easily into/out of and within cells
- Water soluble - energy-requiring processes happen in aqueous env
- Bonds between phosphates with intermediate energy - large enough to be useful for cellular reactions but not so large that energy is wasted as heat
- Releases energy in small quantities - quantities are suitable to most cellular needs so energy is not lost as heat
- Easily regenerated - can be recharged w energy
