Material Detail

Connecting Concepts: Cell Biology/Thermodynamics 3: ATP
Students solve a mystery: where does ATPs energy go in the glutamine synthetase reaction? Students will: 1) interview molecules to learn how ATPs energy was released and absorbed in the ATP-coupled reaction; 2) reconstruct events leading to and from a high energy reaction intermediate; and 3) identify which molecules (reactants, products, enzyme) got some of ATPs energy....

Part three of five interactive exercises that investigate the role of thermodynamics in cell activity. Illustrates ATP cycle and its importance in cells. This is a vital and not easily understood concept. Very well written and well organized. Requires students to draw conclusions from information presennted.
