See [Link].4 of topic 8.3 IT PEQrune ue Q.1 How does the structure of ATP enable it to store and release energy efficiently? Ans: Arp Introduction: Cells use special energy currency for their reactions. This currency is a nucleotide called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). High Energy Bonds: ATP is a high-energy molecule that serves as the primary energy currency of the cell. In the molecule of ATP, the covalent bonds between two phosphates are high-energy bonds. Release of Energy: ‘The breaking of one phosphate bond releases about 7.3 keal (7,300 calories) per mole of ATP. ‘When this happens, ATP becomes ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and one Pi is released. ATP +10 -> ADP +P, + energy (7.3 kcal/mole) In some cases, ADP is further broken down to AMP (adenosine monophosphate) and Pi ADP + H,0 —> AMP + Pi+ energy (7.3 keal/mole) storage of Energy: ‘ells get energy trom the oxidation of food. They store this energy by combining ADP with Pi to form ATP. ADP+ Pi-+ energy (7.3 keal/mole) > ATP+ H,0 Conclusion: So, we can summarize that the P-P bonds of ATP are adapted and involved in the energy storing and releasing ability. aed 17.

Ans: ENERGY CURRENCY OF CEI ATP is sometimes described as energy Explanation: Just like money is used to buy things, cells use ATP to do different activities and reactions. When a cell needs energy, it changes ATP into ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) by breaking a bond between the second and third phosphate groups. This releases a considerable amount of energy equal to 7.3 keal/mole.

CHAPTER —8 276 NOTES SERIES Ans: Q22 Ans: Q23 Ans: Q6 Ans: Q7 point? When light intensity increases, the rate of photosynthesis initially rises, as the plant can use ‘more light to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen Effect after a Certain Limi Beyond a certain point, increasing light intensity does not increase the rate of photosynthesi This is because ‘© Other factors, like CO» concentration or temperature, become the limiting factors. ‘© Also, too much light can damage the plant's chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for absorbing light. Discuss the process of photosynthesis in Sulphur bacteria? Definition: Some bacteria use hydrogen sulfide (H:S) instead of water as a source of electrons in photosynthesis and are typically referred to as Sulphur bacteria.

LACTIC ACID FERMENTATION IN MUSCLE CELLS Lactic Acid Productio During exercise, anaerobic respiration causes laetie-acid to accumulate in muscle cells and surrounding tissues. This aecurmulation can lead to muscle fatigue and discomfort. Lactic Acid to Glucose: To ease this condition, the lactic acid from muscle is transported to the liver through blood, which converts it into glucose. Glucose as Energy Sour This glucose can then be releaséd back into the bloodstream to provide energy to muscles and other tissues, effectively recyéling lactic acid into usable energy. ‘Write the equation of a) Photosynthesis, b) Fermentation, ¢) Aerobie res EQUATIONS Photosynthesi The equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO; + 12,0 ~ C,H),0, + 6H,0 + 60; oR 6CO, + 6H,O > CH.,0, + 60; Fermentation: ‘There are two types of fermentation.
