ATP and ADP 2.1.3 c

Question 1

What does ATP stand for?

Answer 1

Adenosine triphosphate

Question 2

What is ATP?

Answer 2

The chemical energy needed to fuel biological activities.

Question 3

How are energy molecules in food transferred into ATP molecules?

Answer 3

Through two types of respiration - aerobic and anaerobic

Question 4

What is phosphorylation?

Answer 4

When a phosphate group is added, e.g. from ADP to ATP.

Question 5

How is ATP formed?

Answer 5

When adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is bonded to a third inorganic phosphate (Pi) using the energy released from glucose - it also uses ATP synthase.

Question 6

Where does ATP store most of its energy?

Answer 6

In the third bond of the molecule.

Question 7

When is energy released from ATP?

Answer 7

When the bond is broken to release the third inorganic phosphate (Pi).

Question 8

What is the process from ATP-ADP called?

Answer 8

Hydrolysis (Adding H2O)

Question 9

Name the enzyme used in the breakdown of ATP

Answer 9

ATPase

Question 10

What is NAD, and what is it used for?

Answer 10

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide - a coenzyme used in respiration.
