Front

What is the ATP-ADP cycle?

Back

The ATP-ADP cycle is the process by which ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is converted to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and a phosphate group, releasing energy, and then ADP is converted back to ATP by adding a phosphate group, storing energy.

Front

How is ADP converted back to ATP?

Back

ADP is converted back to ATP by the addition of a phosphate group.

Front

Where is the energy stored in ATP?

Back

The energy in ATP is stored in the bond holding the last phosphate group.

Front

What does ADP stand for?

Back

ADP stands for adenosine diphosphate.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy carrier in cells, providing energy for various biochemical reactions.

Front

What type of energy is glucose classified as?

Back

Glucose is classified as a carbohydrate.

Front

What happens to ATP when it releases energy?

Back

When ATP releases energy, it loses a phosphate group and is converted to ADP.

Front

What is the significance of the phosphate group in ATP?

Back

The phosphate group is crucial for storing and releasing energy during the ATP-ADP cycle.

Front

How does the body regenerate ATP?

Back

The body regenerates ATP through processes such as cellular respiration and phosphorylation.

Front

What is phosphorylation?

Back

Phosphorylation is the process of adding a phosphate group to a molecule, such as ADP to form ATP.
