Scelta multipla
Which of the following statements is true?
A
ADP contains more potential energy than ATP.
B
Following hydrolysis, ATP can give off one phosphate group and usable energy, whereas ADP cannot.
C
The energy produced by ATP comes from the breaking of the bond between two phosphate groups.
D
AMP and ADP contain the same amount of potential energy.
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand the structure of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and ADP (adenosine diphosphate). ATP consists of three phosphate groups, while ADP has two phosphate groups.
Recognize that the potential energy in ATP is stored in the bonds between its phosphate groups. The bond between the second and third phosphate group in ATP is particularly high-energy.
Learn that when ATP undergoes hydrolysis, it loses one phosphate group to become ADP, releasing energy in the process. This energy is used by cells to perform various functions.
Compare the potential energy of ATP and ADP. Since ATP has an additional phosphate group compared to ADP, it contains more potential energy.
Understand that AMP (adenosine monophosphate) has only one phosphate group, and therefore, contains less potential energy than both ATP and ADP. ADP has more potential energy than AMP due to its additional phosphate group.
