Biology Flashcard

Front

What molecule do cells use to store and release energy?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is used by cells to store and release energy.

Front

What are the chemical bonds in ATP that store energy?

Back

Energy is stored in the chemical bonds between phosphate groups in ATP.

Front

What does ADP stand for?

Back

ADP stands for Adenosine Diphosphate.

Front

What process do plants use to convert sunlight into chemical energy?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert sunlight into chemical energy.

Front

What is produced during photosynthesis?

Back

Carbohydrates are produced during photosynthesis.

Front

Which bond of the ATP molecule is broken to release energy?

Back

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

Front

What happens to ATP during cellular respiration?

Back

ATP is broken down to release energy for cellular processes.

Front

What is the role of ATP in the cell?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy carrier in cells.

Front

What is the difference between ATP and ADP?

Back

ATP has three phosphate groups, while ADP has two phosphate groups.

Front

What is the significance of the phosphate groups in ATP?

Back

Phosphate groups in ATP store potential energy that can be released when bonds are broken.
