ATP Exam Questions and Answers
Describe how an ATP molecule is formed from its component molecules - Answer-1. and 2. Accept for 2
marks correct names of three components adenine, ribose/pentose, three phosphates; ADP and
phosphate/Pi
3. Condensation (reaction);
4. ATP synthase;
Water is used to hydrolyse ATP. Name the two products of ATP hydrolysis. - Answer-Adenosine
diphosphate and (inorganic) phosphate
Place a tick (✔) in the appropriate box next to the equation which represents the reaction catalysed by
ATP synthase.
ATP ⟶ ADP + Pi + H2O
ATP + H2O ⟶ ADP + Pi
ADP + Pi ⟶ ATP + H2O
ADP + Pi + H2O ⟶ ATP - Answer-ADP + PI = ATP +H20
