Summary Introduction

Introduction: Energy is necessary for all living organisms to perform their life processes. Living cells obtain energy in a different form and they also have the mechanisms to alter energy from one form to another form. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is known as the immediate “energy currency” of the cell and it is continually produced from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate through cellular respiration or photosynthesis.

Fish Cell Physiology Discuss and compare the energy produced from cellular fuels such as saturated fatty acids unsaturated fatty acids, amino acids, and glucose. If you have to maximize the energy utilization of your fish  what particular compound (saturated fatty acids unsaturated fatty acids, amino acids, and glucose) would you provide as the energy source, discuss the scientific principle of your answer
Q1: Define ATP in your own words. Q2: How is ATP involved in anabolism and catabolism? (Hint: Review Figure 5.3.) Q3: Arsenic disrupts ATP production. Why would this characteristic cause it to be a potent poison?
Calculate the number of ATP generated from... For this problem, use the following values: 1 NADH provides the energy for the synthesis of 3 ATP. 1 FADH2 provides energy for the synthesis of 2 ATP. (a) 6 NADH: Number (b) 4 FADH₂: Number ATP ATP (c) 4 acetyl-Co-A: Number (d) 6 glucose: Number ATP ATP
