Transcript of Energy Molecules
Molecules of Energy and Electron Carriers
ATP
ATP (Adenosine Tri-phosphate) is a molecule that is used to provide cells will energy It is the molecule that makes reactions go!
ATP Cycle
How ATP gets used.
How ATP gets used: ATP broken by a hydrolysis reaction and gives up the third phosphate and energy is released for the cell to use. ADP and 1 phosphate is left over.
Electron Carriers
Electron Carriers: Molecules that indirectly provide the cell with energy by assisting in the process that makes ATP.
NADPH: a molecule that carries electrons in plant cells
NADH and FADH2: a molecule that carries electrons in plant and animal cells
