ATP and ADP
ATP is a nucleotide with three parts,the nitrogenous base, which is adenine, sugar, ribose, and a chain of three phosphate groups attached to the ribose. The phosphate part of ATP contains the energy. The bonds between the phosphates releases energy when they are broken, through hydrolysis. One phosphate is removed from ATP to produce energy, and it becomes adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
On the Endosymbiont Theory
Cellular respiration occur in the mitochondria in order to maintain the cell’s homeostasis as well as fueling various cellular process.
ATP used and produced in cell respiration; ATP is consumed in glycolysis to convert glucose to pyruvate, and the ATPs are produced in the Kreb cycle and the electron transport chain.
Cellular respiration can be broken down into three parts: glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain.
