Strand 2: Structures & Processes

Biomolecules in Detail

Detailed study of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and ATP - their structure, function, and importance.

Build ATP from ADP

Click the loose phosphate to attach it and store energy.

Adenosinebase + ribose
Energy is needed to add the third phosphate

Adenosine diphosphate has two phosphate groups.

Build NADPH from NAD+

Click through to see how NAD+ becomes the reducing agent NADPH.

NAD+
NADoxidised form

NAD+ is the oxidised form. It carries a positive charge because it is short of electrons.
