1. What is ATP and what does ATP stand for?
ATP is the primary molecule that is used for energy in living things.
Adenosine triphosphate

2. What is ATP made up of? Draw a picture.
ATP is made up of 1 adenine base, 1 ribose sugar, and 3 phosphate groups.

3. Where is the energy stored?
Most energy in ATP is stored in the chemical bond in-between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate group.

4. What must break off ATP to produce energy?
The 3rd phosphate group!

5. What is formed when this happens?
ADP—Adenosine diphosphate + a free phosphate

6. What the equations for energy storage and energy release.
ADP + P + food energy  ATP
Energy release:
ATP  ADP + P + ENERGY!

7. What are two common biological molecules that make up ATP
What are two common biological molecules that make up ATP? Where else is each found?
1) Ribose sugar (found in RNA)
2) Adenine (found in DNA & RNA)

8. Name some things that the cell might generate energy for.
Active transport (across cell membrane)
Endocytosis
Movement

9. Where does the cell get the energy that it stores as ATP?
FOOD!
