Cellular biology (part #1)

Hi guys in this post we are going to talk about ATP and Glucose.

So first let’s talk about ATP. ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate. ATP is made of Adanine, a ribose and 3 phosphate groups.

In this drawing I drew an ATP molecule and labeled ATP ribose adenine and phosphate group. I also drew adenine + ribose = Adenosine.

ATP is energy the currency of our cells. Because when the bond between the phosphate groups brakes, it releases…………… energy!

In this drawing I drew an ATP molecule and I am showing you that when the bond between the phosphate groups breaks, it releases energy.

And because of that our cells can do so many different things.FUN FACT! There is also GTP guanosine triphosphate which is basically guanine a ribose and three phosphate groups. And also when the bond between the phosphate groups brakes, the ATP will turn in to ADP adenosine diphosphate and again when the bond between the phosphate groups brakes, ADP will turn in to AMP adenosine monophosphate.

And ADP is ATP except it has one less phosphate group.

In this drawing I drew an ADP molecule.

And AMP is ATP except it has two less phosphate groups.

In this drawing I drew an AMP molecule.

Know let’s talk about Glucose. So Glucose means sweet sugar. Glucose is made of 6 carbons 12 hydrogens and 6 oxygens. Glucose is a very important molecule.

In this drawing I drew a glucose molecule.

It is good for Cellular respiration which makes ATP.

I wrote this from memory from what I leaned In Khan Academy. 😀

I know this is a short post but this is the end of this post so bye(: :D😃😊👋:D:).
