Bellwork ATP and ADP Functions and Structures

Front

What is the structure of ATP?

Back

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) consists of an adenine base, a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups.

Front

What type of macromolecule is ATP/ADP?

Back

ATP and ADP are classified as nucleic acids.

Front

How is energy released from ATP?

Back

Energy is released from ATP when a phosphate group is broken off, converting it to ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate).

Front

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

Back

The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.

Front

What is the function of ATP in living organisms?

Back

ATP provides energy for cellular processes.

Front

What does ADP stand for?

Back

ADP stands for Adenosine Diphosphate.

Front

How many phosphate groups are in ADP?

Back

ADP contains two phosphate groups.

Front

What is the role of ATP in muscle contraction?

Back

ATP provides the energy required for muscle fibers to contract.

Front

What happens to ATP during cellular respiration?

Back

During cellular respiration, ATP is produced from ADP and inorganic phosphate through the process of phosphorylation.

Front

What is the difference between ATP and ADP?

Back

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