describe the ATP cycle? Why is it important for there to be a cycle that regenerates this energy-rich molecule, ATP?

Solution

According to the chemiosmotic model proposed by peter metchell, the free energy is therefore stored initially in the form of the photons gradient the following back of photons from the inter membrane space into the matrix leads to liberation of free energy it is coupled to ATP synthesis.

ATP CYCLE:

The energy released in an exergonic reaction is used in an endergonic reaction to generate ATP.

Stage 1:

Stored Energy: The energy from the sun is stored as a chemical bonds. The phosphate bonds in ATP are especially useful for storing energy.

Stage 2:

Releasing Energy: The energy that is released by breaking chemical bonds betwen phosphate groups in ATP is used to power cell activation.

Stage 3:

Energy depleted: ADP has less chemical energy than ATP. ADP also has one less phosphate group than ATP.

Stage 4:

Making ATP: Energy released by other chemical reactions and processes can be used to bond a phosphate group to ADP, making ATP.

Biological importance:

Life processes require a constant supply of energy.

The cellular respiration occurs in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes is depends on ATP.

The cellular metabolism are fuels by ATP.

The ATP molecules stores and transfers energy in cell.

The ATP is need for the heart for beat, it is needed for muscular effort, in fact everything we do is required the ATP as energy source.

ATP/ADP is cycle that releases/stores energy for cell process.

ATP is used to actively transport material across the cell membrane.
