ATP as Energy Currency

What does ATP stand for?

• Adenosine Triphosphate

• Adenosine Monophosphate

• Adenosine Tetraphosphate

• Adenosine Diphosphate

What is the structure of ATP?

• ATP consists of a ribose sugar, a guanine base, and three phosphate groups.

• ATP consists of a deoxyribose sugar, a thymine base, and three phosphate groups.

• ATP consists of a ribose sugar, an adenine base, and three phosphate groups.

• ATP consists of a ribose sugar, an adenine base, and two phosphate groups.

What is the main function of ATP in cells?

• ATP provides energy for cellular processes.

• ATP is a waste product of cellular respiration.

• ATP is responsible for cell division.

• ATP is involved in DNA replication.

What happens during ATP hydrolysis?

• ATP is broken down into ADP and Pi, releasing energy.

• ATP is converted into water and carbon dioxide, releasing energy.

• ATP is converted into ATP synthase, which generates energy.

• ATP is converted into glucose, which is used for energy production.

How is energy released during ATP hydrolysis?

• A water molecule is added to ADP, resulting in the formation of ATP and an inorganic phosphate, which releases energy.

• A carbon dioxide molecule is removed from ATP, resulting in the formation of ADP and an inorganic phosphate, which releases energy.

• A phosphate group is removed from ATP, resulting in the formation of ADP and an inorganic phosphate, which releases energy.

• A nitrogen molecule is added to ATP, resulting in the formation of ADP and an inorganic phosphate, which releases energy.

What is the role of ATP in cellular respiration?

• ATP is only used in photosynthesis, not cellular respiration.

• APT is produced by cellular respiration.

• ATP is a waste product of cellular respiration.

• ATP provides energy for cellular processes in cellular respiration.

What is the difference between ATP and ADP?

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

• ATP and ADP have the same number of phosphate groups.

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

• ATP is used for energy storage, while ADP is used for energy release.

Why is ATP considered the energy currency of cells?

• ATP is only found in certain types of cells

• ATP is the primary molecule used by cells to store & transfer energy in chemical reactions.

• ATP is only used for storage, not transfer

• ATP is not involved in energy transfer

How is ATP regenerated in cells?

• Through photosynthesis

• Through cellular respiration

• Through mitosis

• Through fermentation

How does ATP provide energy for cellular processes?

• ATP provides energy for cellular processes through hydrolysis of its phosphate bonds.

• ATP provides energy for cellular processes through reduction of its phosphate bonds.

• ATP provides energy for cellular processes through synthesis of its phosphate bonds.

• ATP provides energy for cellular processes through oxidation of its phosphate bonds.
