Which of the following is the source of energy used in chemosynthesis?

• sunlight
• heat from hydrothermal vents
• chemical compounds
• amino acids

Energy is released from an ATP molecule for cellular processes when it 

• has a phosphate group removed
• stores and extra phosphate group
• converts a phosphate group to ADP
• produces a sugar molecule

Why are mushrooms considered heterotrophs?

• Mushrooms make their own food
• Mushrooms feed through photosynthesis
• Mushrooms trap and eat small flying insects
• Mushrooms feed by absorbing decomposing nutrients from organisms

What is the difference between ATP and ADP?

• ADP powers movement, while ATP does not
• ATP has three phosphates; ADP has two
• ATP contains adenine and ribose, while ADP does not
• ATP has less energy than ADP

Organisms that make their own food are called

• heterotrophs
• autotrophs
• homotrophs
• polytrophs

Energy is released upon the conversion of 

• AMP to ADP
• ADP to ATP
• ATP to ADP
• ATP to AZP

One way cells use the energy provided by ATP is to
