HOW DO CELLS USE THE ENGERNY released by atp????????????

Answer 1

Energy from ATP helps cells:

1. build and repair membranes and other cell parts
2. carry on active transport
3. move around
4. build proteins, lipids, and other organic molecules
5. grow and develop

Answer 2

While the first answerer said what is accomplished by using ATP, they didn't go into the how. When an enzyme uses ATP for fuel, it is breaking the two outermost phosphate groups off to give inorganic pyrophosphate (or PPi) and one AMP. The enzyme uses the energy trapped in that bond to power movement of the enzyme. This movement will bring results in the catalytic center opening up, the movement of substrates, the ejection of substrates, etc.

Answer 3

The energy released is used for metabolism reactions:
a. Synthesis: of protiens, fats, hormones
b. Mechanical work: contraction of muscle
c. Chemical work: in the liver and kidneys
d. Growth and Repair: cell division, repair of damaged and old tissues
e. Temperature Management: in warm-blooded animals (mammals and birds)
