Front

What is ADP?

Back

Adenosine diphosphate, a molecule that can be converted to ATP.

Front

What is the ATP/ADP cycle?

Back

The process of converting ADP to ATP and back, involving energy transfer.

Front

How is energy released from ATP?

Back

By breaking the bond between the second and third phosphate groups.

Front

What happens when a phosphate group is added to ADP?

Back

It forms ATP, storing energy.

Front

What role do phosphate groups play in ATP?

Back

They store and release energy during cellular processes.
