Where does the chemical importance lie in this molecule? Explain your answer by reviewing the process of ATP hydrolysis.arrow_forward
- ATP is utilized in a variety of reactions in the cell. Research and describe two specific reactions that utilize ATP. One of them must be a process involving transport across membranes. The second must be a process involving metabolism, and utilizing an enzyme (name the enzyme). Explain how ATP is used and why it is needed in the two processes described.arrow_forwardIdentify how many ATP are made during the entire process of cellular respiration AND during each of its stages.arrow_forwardGive typed explanation When an ATP molecule is hydrolyzed in cells, it is quickly recycled back into ATP so that it can be reused. According to most estimates, the average human body has 100g of ATP, but must be hydrolyze around their total body weight in ATP per day to maintain basic metabolism. For a 65 kg person, how many times must each ATP molecule be hydrolyzed and regenerated per day? b) Calculate the heat produced by hydrolysis of 65 kg of ATP (molecular weight of ATP is 507.18)arrow_forward
