ATP - ADP Cycle Worksheet

1. The document discusses the ATP-ADP cycle which is how cells generate and use energy through the breakdown and regeneration of ATP. 2. ATP provides energy to cells by storing energy in phosphate bonds. When a cell needs energy, ATP is broken down to ADP + phosphate, releasing energy. 3. The energy released from ATP breakdown is used to power cellular functions. ADP is regenerated to ATP when energy from glucose is absorbed and a phosphate is added back to ADP, replenishing the cell's energy supply.

General Biology 1
Finals Activity # 2: ATP-ADP Cycle

Your cells require energy to carry out many different functions (active transport across the membrane, protein
synthesis, and cell division). The fuel for these functions comes from a molecule called adenosine
triphosphate (ATP). ATP stores energy until a cell needs it. When a cell requires energy, it breaks part of the
ATP molecule apart which releases energy.

Part 1: The structure of ATP (10 points)

ATP consists of 3 parts: 1 adenine molecule, 1 ribose sugar molecule, and 3 phosphate molecules. Energy is
stored in the bond that is found between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate groups.
 COLOR & LABEL the following in the ATP molecules below: adenine – red, ribose – orange, 3
phosphate groups – yellow.

Part 2: ATP Decomposition (10 points)

When a cell requires energy, it breaks off the last (3rd) phosphate group from the ATP molecule, which releases
energy. The molecule that is left over is called adenosine diphosphate (ADP) which consists of adenine, ribose
sugar, and TWO phosphate groups. ADP contains less energy than ATP.
 COLOR & LABEL the following in the energy molecule below: adenine – red, ribose – orange, first two
phosphate groups – yellow, lone phosphate group – black. COLOR the energy released – blue.
 Circle the part of the image that makes up one molecule of ADP.

Part 3: ATP Synthesis (10 points)

ATP molecules are constantly being rebuilt from ADP and lone phosphate groups. This ensures that cells
always have a source of energy. However, it takes energy to make ATP. The energy to make ATP comes from
a carbohydrate called GLUCOSE. Glucose is a monosaccharide, or simple sugar. Its chemical formula is
C6H12O6. Plants produce glucose during photosynthesis.
 COLOR & LABEL the following in the energy molecule below: adenine – red, ribose – orange, first two
phosphate groups – yellow, lone phosphate group – black. COLOR the energy absorbed – blue.
 Is the ENTIRE energy molecule called ATP or ADP? Be sure to LABEL the name below!

ENERGY Absorbed
Answer the following questions: (2 points each question)
1. What is energy?
A. The ability to do any work is energy.

2. Why do organisms need a constant supply of energy to survive?


A. All living organisms need energy to grow and reproduce, maintain their structures, and respond to
their environments.

3. What is the structural difference between ATP and ADP? Compare/contrast structure of ATP & ADP.
A. Both ATP and ADP are composed of a ribose sugar, adenosine, and phosphate molecule. The main
structural difference between ATP and ADP is that ATP consists of three phosphate molecules whereas
ADP molecule consists of two phosphate molecule.

4. Which structure, ATP or ADP, contains more stored energy? Where is the energy stored?
A. ATP, with its three phosphate groups, has more stored chemical energy than does ADP. ATP stores
energy in its high energy phosphate bonds.

5. Which type of macromolecule (protein, carb, nucleic acid, or lipid) is ATP & ADP?
A. ATP and ADP are both type of molecule known as nucleic acid
