IB Biology SL C1.2.1 ATP distributes energy
Practise explaining how ATP stores, releases and transfers usable energy for cell processes such as active transport in neurons.
How this is tested
- explain why ATP is a useful short-term energy store within cells
- link ATP breakdown to energy release for sodium-potassium pumps in neurons
- interpret respiration questions where energy from compounds is captured as ATP
