Energy for Life on EarthEnergy for Life on Earth
•Sunlight is the ULTIMATE energy for all life on Earth
•Plants store energy in the chemical bonds of sugars
•Chemical energy is released as ATP during cellular respiration
19
Structure of ATPStructure of ATP
• ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate
• It is composed of the nitrogen base ADENINE, the pentose (5C) sugar RIBOSE, and three PHOSPHATE groups
• The LAST phosphate group is bonded with a HIGH ENERGY chemical bond
• This bond can be BROKEN to release ENERGY for CELLS to use
20
Removing a Phosphate from Removing a Phosphate from ATPATP
Breaking the LAST PHOSPHATE bond from ATP, will ---– Release ENERGY for cells to use– Form ADP– Produce a FREE PHOSPHATE
