ATP

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 living organisms?

Back

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

Front

What are the three main components of an ATP molecule?

Back

The three main components of ATP are adenine, ribose (a sugar), and three phosphate groups.

Front

Which phosphate bond in ATP contains the most energy?

Back

The bond between the second and third phosphate groups contains the most energy.

Front

What happens to ATP when it releases energy?

Back

When ATP releases energy, it is converted to ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) and a free phosphate group.

Front

What is ADP and how is it related to ATP?

Back

ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) is a lower-energy molecule that can be converted back to ATP by adding a phosphate group.

Front

What is the role of ATP in muscle contraction?

Back

ATP provides the energy required for muscle fibers to contract.

Front

How do autotrophs use ATP?

Back

Autotrophs use ATP to convert sunlight or inorganic substances into energy-rich organic compounds.

Front

What is the significance of ATP in cellular respiration?

Back

ATP is produced during cellular respiration and is used to power various cellular activities.

Front

What is the relationship between ATP and photosynthesis?

Back

During photosynthesis, light energy is converted into chemical energy stored in ATP.
