ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate.

Front

What is the primary function of ATP in the cell?

Back

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

Front

What happens when ATP is broken down?

Back

When ATP is broken down, it releases energy and converts to ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) and an inorganic phosphate.

Front

What is ADP?

Back

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

Front

How many phosphate groups are in ATP?

Back

ATP contains three phosphate groups.

Front

What is the role of mitochondria in ATP production?

Back

Mitochondria are the organelles responsible for producing ATP through cellular respiration.

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 cellular work when broken.

Front

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

Back

The process of converting ADP back to ATP is called phosphorylation.

Front

What is the difference between ATP and ADP?

Back
