ATP energy

Front

What is ATP?

Back

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

Front

What is the primary function of ATP in cells?

Back

The primary function of ATP is to provide energy for various cellular processes.

Front

What process do plants use to produce ATP?

Back

Photosynthesis.

Front

What process do animals use to produce ATP?

Back

Cellular respiration.

Front

What is the relationship between ATP and ADP?

Back

ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) is formed when ATP loses a phosphate group, and ADP can be converted back to ATP by adding a phosphate group.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What are heterotrophs?

Back

Heterotrophs are organisms that cannot produce their own food and must consume other organisms for energy.

Front

What are autotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food, typically through photosynthesis.

Front

What happens to carbon dioxide levels when there are fewer trees?

Back

Carbon dioxide levels increase due to reduced photosynthesis.

Front

What is the role of the phosphate group in ATP?

Back

The phosphate group is key to storing and releasing energy in ATP.
