Anchor Summary
Millions of chemicals reactions are carried out continuously in the body’s cells. Some reactions release energy, but many reactions consume energy. Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration which we probably all know. ATP is a compound central to the processing of energy by the cell. Some chemical reactions release energy. Other absorb energy, storing it in the products in the form of chemical energy. Enzymes help reactions to occur faster but do not provide energy. ATP, adenosine triphosphate, is a small soluble molecule that provides energy to reactions throughout the cell. y for this reason, ATP is known as the “ energy currency” of cells. ATP is broken down by hydrolysis to form ADP. ADP and phosphate can be combined to form ATP. The bond that attaches the last phosphate group to the ATP molecule releases energy when broken. Some of this energy is released as heat.ATP is changed to ADP by hydrolysis; ADP is changed back to ATP by dehydration synthesis reaction. ATP is continuously produced and consumed in the cell. Without a continuous supply of ATP, the cell would not be able to perform all the functions it needs to survive. The energy required to reassemble ATP is supplied by cellular respiration. This process breaks down organic molecules

Vocabulary!
Mitochondria- organelles-in animal and plant cells that produce energy for the cell.
Photosynthesis- is a biological process in which light energy is used to produce glucose.Photosynthesis uses up carbon dioxide and water and produces oxygen.
Chloroplasts- Are the organelles where photosynthesis takes place in eukaryotic cell.
Cellular respiration-is the process of breaking sugar into a form that the cell can use as energy.
