Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is a molecule that carries energy within cells.

Front

Where is the energy stored in ATP molecules?

Back

In the Phosphate bonds.

Front

What is the primary function of ATP in cells?

Back

To provide energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What happens when a phosphate group is removed from ATP?

Back

Energy is released for cellular work.

Front

What is ADP?

Back

ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) is the molecule formed when one phosphate group is removed from ATP.

Front

How can ADP be compared to a battery?

Back

ADP is like a battery in need of recharging; it can be converted back to ATP.

Front

What are the three main components of an ATP molecule?

Back

Adenine, ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups.

Front

True or False: Energy is stored in the bonds between the phosphate groups in ATP.

Back

True.

Front

What process do cells use ATP for?

Back

Cells use ATP for active transport, muscle contraction, and biochemical reactions.

Front

What is the role of ribose in ATP?

Back

Ribose is the sugar component that forms part of the ATP structure.
