ATP and Energy

What is ATP?

• Adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency of the cell.

• A type of protein that catalyzes biochemical reactions.

• A molecule that stores genetic information.

• A lipid that forms the cell membrane.

What is the energy yield of breaking down one molecule of glucose?

• Approximately 24-26 ATP molecules.

• Approximately 30-32 ATP molecules.

• Approximately 36-38 ATP molecules.

• Approximately 40-42 ATP molecules.

What do all cells use as their primary energy source?

• ATP

• Glucose

• NADH

• Fatty Acids

What is the chemical formula for ATP?

• C10H16N5O13P3

• C6H12O6

• C5H10O5

• C8H10N4O2

What is the significance of the ATP/ADP cycle?

• It allows cells to continuously regenerate ATP for energy.

• It helps in the synthesis of DNA.

• It is involved in the transport of oxygen in the blood.

• It regulates the pH levels in cells.

How is energy released from ATP?

• When a phosphate group is removed.

• When ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP and glucose.

• When ATP is exposed to high temperatures.

• When ATP is combined with oxygen.

What happens to ATP when it loses a phosphate group?

• It becomes ADP.

• It becomes AMP.

• It is converted to glucose.

• It is transformed into creatine phosphate.

What is the main function of ATP in cells?

• To provide energy for cellular processes.

• To store genetic information.

• To transport oxygen in the blood.

• To synthesize proteins.

What is the role of phosphate groups in ATP?

• Phosphate groups store and release energy when added or removed.

• Phosphate groups are responsible for the structural integrity of ATP.

• Phosphate groups help in the synthesis of proteins.

• Phosphate groups are involved in the transport of oxygen in the blood.

Which components make up the ADP molecule?

• A, B, and C

• X, Y, and Z

• 1, 2, and 3

• Alpha, Beta, and Gamma
