Describe the relationship between ATP and ADP and the importance of this relationship within a cell.

Bearclaws72:

@JustSaiyan can yah help with like three questions?

JustSaiyan:

The difference is their number of phosphate groups. ATP has 3, ADP has 2

Bearclaws72:

ok

Bearclaws72:

Why do cells use fat and starch for long-term energy storage instead of ATP molecules?

Bearclaws72:

@JustSaiyan is this because it uses less energy or something Im trying to study but kinda have to rush this

JustSaiyan:

Because it takes more time to break down fat, meaning energy lasts longer.

Bearclaws72:

OK last one btw thanks so much id be dead without help XD

JustSaiyan:

You're welcome.

Bearclaws72:

Most of a cell’s functions cannot use energy directly from the food we eat. Describe how the energy from food can be transferred to forms your cells can use.

JustSaiyan:

food is broken down into smaller substances, then in respiration these substances are used to make energy compounds, such as ATP

Bearclaws72:

Sorry but can you help? Energy is released to be used by a cell when a phosphate group is removed from ADP to form ATP added to ADP to form ATP removed from ATP to form ADP added to ATP to form ADP

Bearclaws72:

@JustSaiyan

JustSaiyan:

removed from ATP to form ADB. Sorry I was at lunch.

Bearclaws72:

Ok thanks what did yah eat?

JustSaiyan:

Pizza with a crunch bar.

Bearclaws72:

Sounds like a classic teenage meal XD

JustSaiyan:

Yep. I like Chicken and Fries the most though.

JustSaiyan:

They say it isn't good for the brain, but I am not feeding my brain, I am feeding me.

Bearclaws72:

Superman true

Bearclaws72:

Ugh lol true
