3.2.6 Warmup

What is the function of ATP in living things?

• provides energy for cells
• stores genetic information
• provides structure in the nucleus

Which cellular organelle is responsible for manufacturing ATP?

• Ribosome
• Nucleus
• Mitochondria
• Chloroplast

Mitochondria are the organelles in cells that are responsible for cellular respiration, the reaction that produces ATP. Based on this information, which types of cells in the body would you expect to contain the most mitochondria? (HINT- which would need the most energy to function?)

• Heart cells

• Adipose (fat cells)

• Red Blood Cells

• Osteocytes

What process is this?

(Hint- dehydration = remove water, lysis = break, synthesis=make, hydro = water)

• Dehydration synthesis

• Hydrolysis

• Hydrosynthesis

• Dehydrationlysis

What does the "TP" in ATP stand for?

• 2 phosphates
• tri (3) phosphates
• Two proteins
• tri (3) proteins
