What is the ATP-ADP cycle?

Back

The ATP-ADP cycle is a process in which adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and a phosphate group, releasing energy for cellular processes. ADP can then be converted back to ATP through cellular respiration.

Carbohydrate

Front

What is the name of the nitrogenous base that helps make up ATP?

Back

Adenine

Where does the energy for ATP come from?

Back

Carbohydrate

Front

Where is the energy held in ATP?

Back

Bond holding last phosphate group

Front

What happens when ATP loses a phosphate group?

Back

When ATP loses a phosphate group, it becomes ADP and releases energy that can be used for cellular work.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cells?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy carrier in cells, providing energy for various biochemical reactions.

Front

How is ATP regenerated from ADP?

Back

ATP is regenerated from ADP through the addition of a phosphate group, a process that occurs during cellular respiration.

Front

What is the significance of the phosphate bonds in ATP?

Back

The phosphate bonds in ATP are high-energy bonds; breaking these bonds releases energy that powers cellular activities.

Front

What is the difference between ATP and ADP?

Back

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) has three phosphate groups, while ADP (adenosine diphosphate) has two phosphate groups.
