ATP Practice

Front

What is ATP?

Back

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

Front

What does ATP stand for?

Back

Adenosine Triphosphate.

Front

What is the primary function of ATP in the cell?

Back

To provide energy for various cellular processes.

Front

How many phosphate groups are in an ATP molecule?

Back

Three phosphate groups.

Front

What happens when one phosphate group is removed from ATP?

Back

ATP is converted to ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) and energy is released.

Front

What is ADP?

Back

ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) is a molecule that is formed when ATP loses one phosphate group.

Front

How is ATP regenerated from ADP?

Back

By adding a phosphate group to ADP.

Front

What role do mitochondria play in ATP production?

Back

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell where ATP is produced through cellular respiration.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

A process that converts glucose and oxygen into ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

Which organisms can produce ATP?

Back

Both plants and animals can produce ATP.
