ATP/ADP

Front

What is ATP?

Back

ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate, a molecule that stores and transfers energy in cells.

Front

What is ADP?

Back

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

Front

How does ATP release energy?

Back

ATP releases energy when the bond between the second and third phosphate groups is broken.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP provides the energy needed for various cellular processes, including muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, and biosynthesis.

Front

What is the difference between ATP and ADP?

Back

ATP has three phosphate groups, while ADP has two phosphate groups.

Front

What macromolecule provides the most energy?

Back

Lipids provide the most energy among macromolecules.

Front

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

Back

The process is called phosphorylation.

Front

Where does cellular respiration occur?

Back

Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of cells.

Front

What is the main purpose of cellular respiration?

Back

The main purpose of cellular respiration is to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP.

Front

What are the two main types of cellular respiration?

Back

The two main types are aerobic respiration (with oxygen) and anaerobic respiration (without oxygen).
