ATP and ADP

• What is ATP?

  ATP is adenosine triphosphate
• Energy is the ability to do work
• In what form is energy stored in cells?

  Energy is stored in the form of ATP
• What are the components that make up ATP?

  • 3 phosphates
  • 1 ribose molecule
  • 1 adenine molecule
• What happens when ATP breaks apart?

  It releases energy and loses a phosphate group
• What molecule is formed when ATP breaks apart?

  ADP (adenosine diphosphate)
• How is ADP recharged to create ATP again?

  ADP is recharged by adding a phosphate group
• What is the significance of the bond that is broken in ATP?

  Breaking the bond produces energy

  Adenine

  
• What part of ATP is this?


  Triphosphate

  
• What part of ATP is this?

  Ribose

  
• What part of ATP is this?


  Chemical bonds

  
• Where is energy stored?

  In the chemical bonds
• What part of ADP is this?

  Diphosphate

  
• Whats ADP?


  Adenosine diphosphate
• Whats the only difference between an ATP molecule and and ADP molecule?

  An ATP molecule has a Triphosphate while and an ADP molecule has a Diphosphate
• Which bond breaks to release energy?

  The bond between phosphates 2 and 3 (3 gets broken off)
