Chapter 31, Problem 13P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The energetic equivalent of 2 ATP molecules is used to activate one amino acid, but only 1 ATP molecule is used. The reason for this statement should be determined.

Concept introduction:

ATP (adenosine monophosphate) is an organic molecule and the chemical that provides energy to the cell. Muscular contractions, chemical synthesis, and nerve impulse propagation, all these activities are run by ATP derived energy. It is synthesized in the mitochondria; therefore, mitochondria istermed as the powerhouse of the cell.
