Main Idea/Information:
• ATP is an adenine
• It is the major energy currency of the cell
• ATP
What I learned While Researching:
While I was researching about ATP I learned that ATP occurs in both plant and animals cells. Also I learned that ATP is used for many cell functions such as transporting substances across the cell membrane and it also is used for mechanical work such as supplying the energy needed for muscle contraction. I already knew a little about ATP because we talked about it in class but I thought it was cool to look more into it and see how it affects you and the body. I enjoyed researching and learning about ATP because it helped me understand where my body gets some of its energy and it's pretty cool how we can produce it ourselves. There are many ways you use ATP while out of biology cause you need energy to wake up everyday and to overall move and basically live. ATP is a huge role in life.

How many ways can ATP be created and what are these processes called? I was interested in this question ever since we started learning about ATP. - James Voos
ReplyDeleteATP can be created in many ways and the process is called coupling.

ReplyDeleteIt really seems like you enjoyed learning about this topic! I would like to know if ATP didn't function correctly in an animal or plant cell, how would this affect the host?
ReplyDeleteHow does the ATP transport the substances through the cell? Good Job

ReplyDeleteTransporting substances across the plasma membrane can require the cell to use some of its energy. If energy is used, the transport is called active. If molecules can pass through the plasma membrane without using energy, the molecules are using passive transport. -Andre
ReplyDeleteIf ATP messed up in a plant cell or animal cell the cell would and the host would most likely die because it wouldn't have any energy and ATP does a lot more then just energy for the cell. - ALY
