ATP Cycle

Front

What is the ATP cycle?

Back

The ATP cycle refers to the continuous process of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) being converted to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and back, which is essential for energy transfer in cells.

What happens during the addition of a phosphate group in the ATP cycle?

Back

Energy is stored in the molecule.

Front

What is ADP?

Back

ADP (adenosine diphosphate) is a molecule that results from the removal of one phosphate group from ATP, releasing energy.
