What is the role of ATP or ADP as an allosteric regulator? Assume that the supply of energy for cellular processes is adjusted to meet cellular demand for energy.
ATP is known as Adenosine triphosphate which is created make organisms have energy and make their cells work. ADP is known as Adenosine diphosphate and this is created to make the energy flow to the different cells in the organism. An allosteric regulator is one that regulates the enzymes.
The ATP and ADP have specific roles as an allosteric regulator. The supply of energy for cellular processes is adjusted to meet cellular demand for energy. The role is that ATP is an allosteric inhibitor and ADP is an allosteric activator of catabolic pathways and ATP is an allosteric activator of anabolic pathways.
Therefore, the ATP restrains the process whereas the ADP causes it and makes it happen. The anabolic pathway is a part of the metabolism process.
