From this article you will learn how ATP differs from ADF.
Content
ATP and ADF are sources of energy in the animal and plant world. How do they differ? We find out in this article.
What is ATP?
ATP or adenosine triphosphoric acid - A molecule that produces energy in all living and inanimate, because plants also need energy to grow.
ATP is a complex component: consists of carbon atoms of ribose, combined carbon atoms and nitrogen called adenine, and 3 molecular phosphate residues.
ATP is a very unstable connection, easily joins water. With this reaction from ATP, 1 phosphate molecule is disconnected, plus energy is released, namely 7.3 kcal, and ATP goes to ADF. The name of such a reaction is macroergic connection. ATP has 2 macroergic connections: one - when the ATP transition to ADF, the second is the transition of ADF to the AMF.
The reverse process of the transition of the AMF to ADF, and then to ATP is also possible, but each stage will require 10 kcal from the body. And their body takes from food. The reverse reaction of the transition from the AMF to the ATP passes when we rest and it is called phosphorylation.
ATP in our body always saves the supply of energy, but it is not much enough, but only for 2-3 seconds of movements, and in order to get more energy, the ATP transformation reaction to ADF should occur.
What is ADF?
ADF or adenosyndifosphoric acid It contains adenin, ribosa and 2 molecular phosphate residues. It is formed from ATP by delaying the phosphorus molecule, water connection and oxygen. As a result, we get ADF and energy.
The difference in ADF and ATP is that the ADF contains less energy than ATP.
Attention. In order for the body to live and develop normally, get energy, it is necessary that all the time the reaction of the ATP and AMF transformation occurs, and vice versa, if this does not happen, and all the ATP molecules have passed to ADF or AMF, then a living creature dies.
What are the reasons for the reactions of ATP transformation into ADF?
There are reasons why the synthesis of ATP decreases until complete cessation.
The reasons that may prevent the reactions of the transformation of ATP into ADF:
- The inability to flow oxygen into the body due to its absence
- Acute diseases of the respiratory organs
- The inability to flow oxygen in tissues, for example, in a severe form of anemia
- Damage to mitochondria due to prolonged insufficient intake of oxygen in the body
- Poisoning of the body with poisons (cyanides)
So, now we know how ATP differs from ADF.
