In this, our third and final video for the semester, we will show you how the ATP cycle works. How Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) changes to Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) by a process called dephosphorylation where one of the phosphates breaks off. This process also occurs in the opposite way when ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) changes into ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) by another process called phosphorylation where one phosphate is added to the ADP. We hope you enjoy this video and learn a little about the ATP cycle. Thanks for watching! –Andres and Claudia

Our mitochondria has a major role in producing our energy. Who do you know at Mitoaction.org who can put PXP to the test?

Where does mitochondrial disease come from? How does your body make energy? Why are the mitochondria important for life, diseases, and aging? Learn all about it in this 3D animation designed by students from the Center for Digital Imaging Arts at Boston University in cooperation with MitoAction.org.

“ATP molecules store and supply energy for cellular processes. An ATP molecule contains three building blocks: the flat purine ring system containing multiple nitrogen atoms shown in blue, the ribose sugar in the middle, and the three phosphate groups with the phosphorus atoms shown in yellow.” Essential Cell Biology, Second Edition by Alberts, Bray, Hopkin, Johnson, Lewis, Raff, Roberts, Walter copyright 2004 by Garland Science Publishing

ATP is biological energy. Adenosine Triphosphate. In the presence of water then part of the phosphates transforms ATP into ADP and energy. ATP is created by our mitochondria. PXP is fuel for our cells and the mitochondria function, creating ATP or energy for all body functions.

Introduction to ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate

In our third video, we demonstrated the relationship between ATP and ADP production, and what this means for the rest of the body. ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is made up of something closely resembling a nitrogenous base (adenosine), as well as three phosphates (TRI-phosphate). When dephosphorylation occurs, one of the phosphates detaches and joins a reservoir of other phosphates. This process is Exergonic, and creates energy for the cell to use. Because one of the phosphates is now gone, the adenosine triphosphate is now adenosine DI-phosphate, or ADP. For the cycle to complete itself, a phosphate must be reattached so that more energy can be produced through its leaving from the ATP. The reattachment of a phosphate is an endergonic reaction, which uses energy, but is necessary for the cell. This completes the ATP cycle.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is used to produce energy for cellular activities. The molecule is utilized for energy in cells by removing a phosphate group (dephosphorylation). This produces the molecule ADP (adenosine diphosphate), which is subsequently phosphorylated to produce ATP. This video summarizes the ATP cycle in cells and introduces the key terms.

Our mitochondria are tiny powerhouses, producing ATP or what we know as energy. This video gives a glimpse of what mitochondria are and how they serve us. It is vital that our mitochondria have the fuel they need to produce ATP. If the mitochondria have the necessary fuel to produce ATP then how will that affect our overall energy level and health?
