What does ATP stand for
Adenosine triphosphate
What does ADP stand for
Adenosine diphosphate
A chain of three phosphate groups attached to the adenosine backbone
ATP
What makes up the adenosine backbone
Adenine and ribose
The key to how ATP stores energy is found where
I’m the bonds between the three phosphate groups
Is a useful amount of energy released when bonds are broken
Yes
When a phosphate molecule breaks off of ATP it forms
ADP
Can ATP be reused
Yes
With proper enzymes and adequate supply of energy the ADP and a phosphate can recombine to form
ATP
Process by which plants create their own energy
