    Cells use ATP as an energy source for functions through chemical reactions. ATP is a nucleotide composed of adenosine and three phosphate groups that provides energy when it is broken down. While the human body only contains about 250g of ATP, it replenishes itself through the process of cellular respiration in the cytoplasm and mitochondria to produce more ATP and sustain the body's energy needs.

    CELLS NEED ENERGY

    FOR ALL KINDS OF


    FUNCTIONS
    ATP
    ENERGY FOR THE CELL
    ATP

     Cells use ATP for functions that require energy


     ATP = Adenosine Triphosphate
     A nucleotide
     Consists of an adenosine group and 3 phosphate groups
    Energy

     Chemical reaction releases energy from ATP for cells to use


     Reaction produces – ADP molecule (adenosine diphosphate) + a

    free phosphate group + Energy


    “The human body contains
    about 250g of ATP, but the
    body uses approximately its
    own weight in ATP in one
    day. How is this possible?”
    Cellular Respiration

     The process of cellular respiration makes ATP


     This occurs in the cytoplasm and the mitochondria
    SOLVING CRIMES
    ATPs connection to Homicides

     Info:
     Muscle contraction – calcium ions entering muscle cells
     Muscle relaxation – ATP pumps calcium ions out of the cells
     Rigor mortis happens within the first few hours of death
     How can rigor mortis help detectives figure out
    when a crime occurred?
