LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

QUARTER 2 – WEEK 1

Activity 1 ATP – ADP CYCLE

Objective: Explain coupled reaction process and described the role of ATP in energy coupling and
transfer.
Living cells need supplies of energy for thousands of activities such as the contraction of a
muscle cell, conduction by a nerve cell, synthesis of organic compounds, active transport and
division of a cell. A molecule of ATP provides this energy requirement.
Procedure: Fill in the blanks, check the appropriate box or explain.
USING ATP TO PROVIDE ENERGY

1. Explain why the reaction is called the hydrolysis of ATP?

______________________________________________________________________________
2. What will remain to the molecule of ATP after hydrolysis?
______________________________________________________________________________
3. The reaction, ATP + H2O → ADP + P occurs in all the cell in your body only in muscle
cells.
ATP MOLECULE

5. The actual source of power, energy in ATP is found in _________________________________.
6. How is ATP energy released?
______________________________________________________________________________

7. Explain why the reaction called coupled reaction process?

______________________________________________________________________________
8. How the hydrolysis of ATP to form ADP + P is useful?
______________________________________________________________________________
9. Why does a cell need to constantly break down and synthesize ATP?
