ATP

Front

What is ATP?

Back

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

Front

What does ATP stand for?

Back

ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate.

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

How many phosphate groups are present in an ATP molecule?

Back

An ATP molecule contains three phosphate groups.

Front

What happens when a phosphate group is removed from ATP?

Back

When a phosphate group is removed from ATP, it becomes ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) and releases energy.

Front

What is the ATP/ADP cycle?

Back

The ATP/ADP cycle is the process of converting ATP to ADP by releasing energy and then regenerating ATP by adding a phosphate group.

Front

Which bond in ATP is broken to release energy?

Back

The bond between the second and third phosphate groups is broken to release energy.

Front

What is the role of ATP in muscle contraction?

Back

ATP provides the energy required for muscle fibers to contract.

Front

What is the significance of the high-energy bonds in ATP?

Back

The high-energy bonds in ATP store energy that can be used for various cellular activities.

Front

How is ATP regenerated in the body?

Back

ATP is regenerated in the body through cellular respiration and the phosphorylation of ADP.
