What is ATP?

What is one of the primary roles of ATP in cellular processes?

• To transport oxygen

• To serve as an energy currency

• To act as a structural component of the cell

• To store genetic information

Which of the following is NOT a component of ATP?

• Deoxyribose

• Three phosphates

• Ribose

• Adenine

How do plants generate ATP?

• By absorbing sunlight directly

• By breaking down glucose made from photosynthesis

• Through photosynthesis

• By consuming glucose

What is the role of the ATP cycle in cells?

• To permanently store energy

• To synthesize DNA

• To regenerate ATP after it is used

• To break down proteins

What happens when ATP is hydrolyzed?

• It forms a stronger bond

• It absorbs energy

• It releases energy

• It becomes more stable

Why is the bond between the second and third phosphate in ATP considered unstable?

• Due to the positive charges of the phosphates

• Due to the negative charges of the phosphates

• Because it is a weak bond

• Because it is a super-strong bond

What is the result of phosphorylating a protein during active transport?

• The protein becomes less reactive

• The protein loses its function

• The protein becomes more stable

• The protein becomes more reactive and less stable
