Summary Introduction

To label: The three components of an ATP molecule.

Introduction: Nucleotides belong to the class of organic compounds. They are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. Each nucleotide contains a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar ring, and a phosphate group.

d.

Summary Introduction

To indicate: The bond in the ATP molecule that is likely to break.

Introduction: ATP is chemically known as adenosine triphosphate. It is a usable form of energy for cells.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The chemical mechanism that breaks the bond among ATP.

Introduction: ATP is a usable form of energy for cells. This energy is trapped in a chemical bond that can be released and used to carry on other reactions that require energy.

e.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason why the hydrolysis reaction of ATP releases so much energy.

Introduction: Hydrolysis reaction occurs when a biological macromolecule is broken down. The water molecules split when a complex macromolecule is broken.
