ATP and NAD both play important roles in respiration. Both compounds are nucleotides.
Fig. 1.1 represents the molecular structures of ATP and NAD.
Using Fig. 1.1, compare the structures of ATP and NAD.
ATP provides an immediate energy source for metabolic processes such as anabolic reactions.
State two examples of anabolic reactions in a mammal that require ATP as an energy source.
1 ______
2 ______
Name the type of chemical reaction by which ATP is made during the Krebs cycle.
Outline the roles of NAD in the cytoplasm of a cell.
Carbohydrates and lipids are used as respiratory substrates.
Table 1.1 shows the energy values of carbohydrates and lipids.
Table 1.1
| respiratory substrate | energy value / |
|---|---|
| carbohydrate | 15.8 |
| lipid | 39.4 |
Explain why lipids have a higher energy value than carbohydrates.
