Biology Topic 1B - (1.4) – ATP Questions
And Answers
Plant and animal cells release energy from glucose. What is this process called? - Answer - Respiration.
All living organisms require in order to remain live and where does this come from? - Answer - Energy
From the sun
Explain the process of photosynthesis. - Answer - Plants use solar energy to combine water and carbon
dioxide into complex organic molecules by the process of photosynthesis.
Of the photosynthesis has occurred in plants, what the plants and animals then do to make ATP
(Adenosine Triphosphate)
- Which is used as the main energy source to carry out processes within cells. - Answer - Both plants and
animals then oxidised these organic molecules created in photosynthesis to make ATP.
So get it energy directly from glucose?
What happens instead then? - Answer - No.
So, in respiration, the energy released from glucose is used to make ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
What is the role of ATP in a cell? - Answer - ATP is the immediate source of energy in the cell.
Type of molecule is the ATP molecule? - Answer - A phosphorylated macromolecule.
, Give the names of the three different parts of ATP. - Answer - 1. The nucleotide base adenine. (A in the
DNA sequence)
2. A ribose sugar molecule.
3. A chain of three phosphate groups.
What is ATP also known as and why is this? - Answer - It is what's known as a nucleotide derivative
because it is a modified form of a nucleotide.
What is adenine?
What is a ribose sugar? - Answer - Adenine is a nitrogen containing organic base.
A ride by sugar is a sugar molecule with a five carbon ring structure (pentose sugar) that acts as the
backbone to which the other parts are attached.
Once made, what happens to ATP? - Answer - It's defuses to the part of the cell that needs energy.
How is the energy in ATP stored? - Answer - The energy in ATP is stored in high energy bonds between
the phosphate groups.
Why is the energy in ATP stored in high energy bonds between the phosphate groups?
What happens when the bonds break?
(3 points in total) - Answer - -As the bonds between these phosphate groups are unstable and so have a
lower activation energy.
-This means they are easily broken.
-When they do break, they release a considerable amount of energy.
