ATP and Its Role in Cellular Reactions

What components make up the structure of ATP?

• Adenine, ribose, and two phosphate groups

• Adenine, glucose, and two phosphate groups

• Adenine, ribose, and three phosphate groups

• Ribose, glucose, and three phosphate groups

What happens when the bond between the second and third phosphate groups in ATP is broken?

• Energy is released, forming ATP

• Energy is absorbed, forming ADP and an inorganic phosphate

• Energy is released, forming ADP and an inorganic phosphate

• Energy is absorbed, forming ATP

Which type of reaction involves breaking down molecules to release energy?

• Anabolic reactions

• Catabolic reactions

• Endergonic reactions

• Exergonic reactions

How does the body use the energy released from food breakdown?

• To store energy in glucose molecules

• To convert ADP and phosphate into ATP

• To release energy as heat

• To convert ATP into ADP and phosphate

What is the primary role of anabolic reactions in the body?

• To build molecules and consume energy

• To convert ADP into ATP

• To store energy in the form of ATP

• To break down molecules and release energy
