Honors Biology Unit 4

What does ATP stand for?

• Adenosine Triphosphate

• Adenine Triphloride

Where does the most energy reside in ATP?

• Between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate bond

• Between the ribose sugar and adenine base

• Between the 1st and 2nd phosphate bond

• Between the adenine base and the first phosphate

Why do cells use ATP?

Answer explanation

To complete active transport, protein synthesis, and for responses to chemical signals

Heterotrophs get most of their energy from:

• Breaking down sugar made in photosynthesis

• Eating and breaking down food

Autotrophs get their ATP from:

• Breaking down sugar made in photosynthesis

• Eating and breaking down food

Glucose is commonly known as:

ATP is similar in structure to :

• Salt

• Carbohydrates

• Nucleotides

How is ATP similar to nucleotides?

Answer explanation

Uses a nitrogen base, a sugar, and contains phosphates.

What are the bonds between phosphates called?

When you remove 3rd and 2nd phosphate from ATP you create:

• ADP

• AMP (adenosine monophosphate)
