Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is a nucleotide that serves as the primary energy carrier in cells.

Front

What is ADP?

Back

ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) is a nucleotide that is formed when ATP loses one phosphate group, releasing energy.

Front

How is energy released from ATP?

Back

Energy is released when ATP is converted to ADP through the breaking of a phosphate bond.

Front

Where is energy stored in ATP?

Back

Energy is stored in the high-energy phosphate bonds between the phosphate groups.

Front

What happens during the ATP/ADP cycle?

Back

During the cycle, ATP is converted to ADP to release energy, and ADP can be converted back to ATP by adding a phosphate group.

Front

What type of macromolecule is ATP?

Back

ATP is classified as a nucleic acid.

Front

True or False: ATP can store energy.

Back

True.

Front

True or False: ATP is only used for energy release.

Back

False. ATP is used for both energy storage and release.

Front

What is the role of phosphate groups in ATP?

Back

Phosphate groups in ATP are responsible for storing and releasing energy.

Front

What is the significance of the ATP/ADP cycle in cellular processes?

Back

The ATP/ADP cycle is crucial for energy transfer in cellular processes, allowing cells to perform work.
