ATP/ADP

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate, a molecule that stores and provides energy for cellular processes.

Front

What is ADP?

Back

ADP stands for Adenosine Diphosphate, a molecule that is formed when ATP loses one phosphate group and releases energy.

Front

How do plants produce ATP?

Back

Plants produce ATP through the process of cellular respiration and photosynthesis.

Front

How do animals produce ATP?

Back

Animals produce ATP primarily through cellular respiration, breaking down glucose and other nutrients.

Front

What is the role of ATP in the cell?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy currency of the cell, powering various biological processes.

Front

What happens to ATP when energy is released?

Back

When ATP releases energy, it is converted into ADP and a free phosphate group.

Front

What is the high-energy bond in ATP?

Back

The high-energy bond in ATP is located between the second and third phosphate groups.

Front

What are macromolecules?

Back

Macromolecules are large molecules essential for life, including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.

Front

Which macromolecule provides the most energy?

Back

Lipids provide the most energy per gram compared to carbohydrates and proteins.

Front

What is the process of cellular respiration?

Back

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