Question 1
1 mark

A student used a colorimeter to determine the concentration of ATP in a cell extract. If the hydrolysis of one mole of ATP to ADP and \(P_i\) releases approximately \(30.5\text{ kJ mol}^{-1}\) of energy under standard conditions, which of the following best describes the enzyme ATP hydrolase in this reaction?

Question 2
1 mark

ATP is hydrolysed to provide energy for cellular processes. Which of the following statements best describes the phosphorylation of a compound using the inorganic phosphate (\(P_i\)) released from ATP?

Question 3
1 mark

Scientists were investigating the properties of ATP. They found that in a specific cell type, the rate of ATP hydrolysis was significantly higher than the rate of ATP resynthesis. What is the most likely physiological consequence for this cell?

Question 4
1 mark

The hydrolysis of ATP is a coupled reaction in many cellular processes. Which statement accurately describes a result of this hydrolysis according to the syllabus?

Question 5
1 mark

During the hydrolysis of ATP, the inorganic phosphate (\(P_i\)) released can be used in the process of phosphorylation. What is the primary biological advantage of this process?

Question 6
2 marks

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is synthesized from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and an inorganic phosphate group. Name the enzyme that catalyzes this condensation reaction and state one specific biological process during which this reaction occurs.

Write your answer out first, then check it against the worked solution.

Question 7
3 marks

Identify the enzyme that catalyzes the resynthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate, and name two specific cellular processes where this synthesis occurs.

Write your answer out first, then check it against the worked solution.

Question 8
5 marks

A researcher inhibited the enzyme ATP synthase in a eukaryotic cell. Predict the immediate effect on the resynthesis of ATP and explain which specific part of the ATP molecule must be joined to ADP during this condensation reaction.

Write your answer out first, then check it against the worked solution.
