Energy Flow Concepts 1&2 Review: Enzymes & ATP

Front

What is ATP?

Back

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

Front

How is energy released from ATP?

Back

Energy is released from ATP when a phosphate group is removed.

Front

What role does ATP play in living cells?

Back

ATP temporarily stores and carries energy for all living cells.

Front

What is an enzyme?

Back

An enzyme is a biological catalyst that speeds up chemical reactions without being consumed.

Front

What is the function of enzymes in chemical reactions?

Back

Enzymes increase the reaction rate of a chemical reaction.

Front

Where does ATP formation occur?

Back

ATP is formed during cellular respiration in the mitochondria.

Front

What is the process of cellular respiration?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between ATP and ADP?

Back

ATP has three phosphate groups, while ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) has two phosphate groups.

Front

What is the role of enzymes in biological systems?

Back

Enzymes lower the activation energy required for reactions, making them occur faster.

Front

What happens to an enzyme after a chemical reaction?

Back

Enzymes are not destroyed after a reaction; they can be reused.
