ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is a molecule that carries energy within cells. It consists of a ribose sugar, adenine base, and three phosphate groups.

Front

What is ADP?

Back

ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) is a molecule that is formed when ATP loses one phosphate group. It consists of a ribose sugar, adenine base, and two phosphate groups.

Front

What is the difference between ATP and ADP?

Back

ATP has 3 phosphates, while ADP has 2 phosphates.

Front

Where does the Krebs cycle occur?

Back

The Krebs cycle occurs in the Mitochondrial Matrix.

Front

What is the function of the Endoplasmic Reticulum?

The Endoplasmic Reticulum is the transportation network for the cell, moving materials around within the cell.

Front

What is required for cellular respiration?

Back

Oxygen is required for cellular respiration.

Front

What is the function of a vacuole?

Back

A vacuole stores materials such as water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in cells?

Back

Front

What is the function of lysosomes?

Back

Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris.

Front

What is the role of ribosomes in a cell?

Back

Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis, where amino acids are assembled into proteins.
