Front

What is ATP?

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

Front

What are the components of ATP?

Back

ATP is composed of adenine, ribose (a sugar), and three phosphate groups.

Front

What is the primary function of ATP in living organisms?

Back

The primary function of ATP is to provide energy for cellular processes.

Front

What does ADP stand for?

Back

ADP stands for Adenosine Diphosphate.

Front

How is ADP related to ATP?

Back

ADP is formed when one phosphate group is removed from ATP, releasing energy.

Front

What is the process of converting ADP back to ATP called?

Back

The process is called phosphorylation.

Front

What type of cellular transport requires ATP?

Back

Active transport requires ATP to move substances against their concentration gradient.

Front

What is the difference between active transport and passive transport?

Back

Active transport requires energy (ATP) to move substances, while passive transport does not.

Front

What is diffusion?

Back

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane.
