ATP

Question 1

What does ATP stand for?

Answer 1

Adenosine Triphosphate

Question 2

How is energy released from ATP?

Answer 2

By breaking off the terminal/exterior phosphate group

Question 3

What type of reaction breaks down ATP?

Answer 3

Hydrolysis

Question 4

What type of reaction forms ATP?

Answer 4

Condensation reactions during cellular respiration

Question 5

How does ADP turn into ATP?

Answer 5

ADP get’s phosphorylated which means it adds a phosphate group

Question 6

What are the two types of Phosphorylation?

Answer 6

Substrate level Phosphorylation and Oxidative Phosphorylation

Question 7

What happens during Substrate level Phosphorylation?

Answer 7

An enzyme is used to add a phosphate to ADP

Question 8

What happens during Oxidative Phosphorylation?

Answer 8

Redox reactions force a Hydrogen proton to move from the membrane of the mitochondria to the matrix of the Mitochondria. When this happens it stimulates ADP to phosphorylate and form ATP.
