ATP Revision Questions Containing
Correct Answers
What does ATP stand for? - Answer - adenine triose phosphate
What is ATP used for? - Answer - ATP is used as an energy source in order for an individual to carry out
essential life processes.
What is the energy given from ATP used in? - Answer - Metabolic processes
Movement
Maintenance of body temperature
Maintenance, repair and growth
Active transport
Production of substances
Where is ATP made? - Answer - this is continuously made in the mitochondria as it cannot be stored.
ATP is sometimes referred to as an immediate energy source, why? - Answer - ATP releases its energy
very rapidly. the energy is released in a single step and is transferred directly to the reaction that
requires it.
Explain how ATP can make an enzyme catalysed reaction to take place more rapidly. - Answer - ATP
provides a phosphate molecule to attach to another molecule making it more reactive and thus lowers
its activation energy. As enzymes work by lowering their activation energy they have less work to do and
so function more rapidly
How is ADP converted to ATP? - Answer - it is converted in a condensation reaction in which a
phosphate molecule is added.
