Label A, B, and C on the molecule seen here. 2. What is the full name of this molecule? 3. What is the main function of this molecule? 4. Summarize the ATP-ADP cycle. How does ATP actually release energy?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for information related to a specific molecule depicted in the image. It requires labeling parts of the molecule, identifying the molecule's name, explaining its main function, and summarizing the ATP-ADP cycle, including how ATP releases energy.
Answer
1. A: Adenine, B: Ribose, C: Phosphate groups. 2. Adenosine Triphosphate. 3. Energy currency of the cell. 4. ATP to ADP releases energy.
- A is Adenine, B is Ribose, C is Phosphate groups. 2. The full name is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). 3. The main function is to act as the energy currency for the cell, transferring energy for cellular processes. 4. ATP releases energy by losing a phosphate group to become ADP, releasing energy for cellular activities.
Answer for screen readers
- A is Adenine, B is Ribose, C is Phosphate groups. 2. The full name is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). 3. The main function is to act as the energy currency for the cell, transferring energy for cellular processes. 4. ATP releases energy by losing a phosphate group to become ADP, releasing energy for cellular activities.
More Information
Adenosine Triphosphate is crucial for metabolism, driving biochemical reactions by providing packets of energy.
Tips
Be careful not to confuse ATP with ADP; ATP has three phosphates while ADP has two.
