ATP Basics
This molecule is known as the "energy currency of the cell."
What is ATP?
ATP contains this number of phosphate groups.
What is 3
This process breaks down glucose to make ATP.
What is cellular respiration?
When ATP loses a phosphate, it becomes this molecule.
ADP
ATP gives energy for muscles to do this.
What is contract (move)?
Where does all energy come from?
What is the sun
Name the three parts of ATP.
What are adenine, ribose, and three phosphate groups?
This organelle is where most ATP is produced.
What is the mitochondria?
Energy is released when ATP loses this part.
What is a phosphate group?
During hard exercise with little oxygen, cells use this type of respiration.
What is anaerobic respiration?
ATP stands for this full scientific name
What is Adenosine Triphosphate
Energy is stored in ATP in the bonds between these groups.
What are phosphate groups?
This process captures energy from sunlight to make glucose.
What is photosynthesis?
Energy must be added to ADP to form this molecule again.
What is ATP?
This substance builds up in muscles and causes burning and fatigue.
What is lactic acid?
ATP provides energy for cells to grow, repair themselves, and perform chemical reactions.
What is cellular work?
The bond that releases energy when broken is located between these two phosphates.
What are the second and third phosphate groups?
Energy stored in food molecules is this type of energy.
What is chemical energy?
The ATP/ADP cycle happens repeatedly in cells to provide this.
What is energy?
Which type of respiration makes more ATP
What is aerobic respiration?
ATP is called the energy currency because cells use it to “pay” for this.
What is cellular processes/work?
ATP belongs to this biomolecule category.
What is a nucleic acid?
Energy released from ATP powers cellular activities like movement, transport, and building molecules.
What are cellular processes?
This process adds energy to ADP to make ATP.
What is cellular respiration?
Why do cells need ATP all the time?
movement, transport, building muscles, cell division
