Questions and Answers
- 1.
How many phosphate groups are found in the Adenosine Monophosphate molecule? (Please enter a number from 0 to 20 for your answer)
Explanation
Adenosine Monophosphate (AMP) is a nucleotide that consists of a ribose sugar, an adenine base, and a single phosphate group. Therefore, there is only one phosphate group present in the AMP molecule.Rate this question:
- 2.
Bacteria can exist and live on AMP energy molecules.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Bacteria can exist and live on AMP energy molecules because AMP (adenosine monophosphate) is an essential component in cellular energy metabolism. It is involved in processes such as ATP synthesis, which is the main energy currency in cells. Bacteria can utilize AMP molecules as a source of energy to carry out their metabolic activities and sustain their survival.Rate this question:

Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) is a(n)_____ level energy molecule in the scheme of harvesting chemical energy. (Hint: please use one of the following answers: high, low, medium)
Correct Answer
mediumExplanation
ADP is considered a medium level energy molecule because it is formed when a phosphate group is removed from ATP (adenosine triphosphate), resulting in the release of energy. ADP can then be converted back into ATP through the addition of a phosphate group, which requires energy input. This cycle of converting between ADP and ATP allows for the storage and release of energy in cells.Rate this question:

When AMP gains 1 phosphate group. What is the product called? (Please enter your answer using all capital letters.)
Correct Answer
ADP, A.D.P.Explanation
When AMP gains 1 phosphate group, it becomes ADP (adenosine diphosphate). ADP is an important molecule in cellular metabolism as it serves as a precursor to ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the main energy currency of the cell. ADP can be further phosphorylated to form ATP through the addition of another phosphate group.Rate this question:
- 7.
When 1 ADP molecule gains one phosphate it is called. (Please enter your answer using all capital letters.)
Correct Answer
ATPExplanation
When 1 ADP molecule gains one phosphate, it forms ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is the main energy currency of cells and is used to store and transfer energy within the cell. The addition of a phosphate group to ADP creates a high-energy bond, which can be broken to release energy when needed for cellular processes.Rate this question:

- A.
1
- B.
2
- C.
3
- D.
5
Correct Answer
C. 3Explanation
In one molecule of ATP, there are three phosphate groups. ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is composed of an adenosine molecule and three phosphate groups. The phosphate groups are attached to the adenosine molecule through high-energy bonds. When one of these phosphate groups is cleaved, it releases energy that can be used by cells for various processes. Therefore, the correct answer is 3.Rate this question:
-
- 9.
ATP is considered a(n)_____ energy molecule when the outer most phosphate bond is broken.
- A.
Low
- B.
Medium
- C.
High
Correct Answer
C. HighExplanation
When the outermost phosphate bond in ATP is broken, it releases a large amount of energy. This is because the phosphate bond is a high-energy bond, and breaking it releases the stored energy. Therefore, ATP is considered a high-energy molecule when this bond is broken.Rate this question:

- A.
4
- B.
8
- C.
10
- D.
12
- E.
13
Correct Answer
C. 10Explanation
The triphosphate group in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) consists of three phosphate groups. Each phosphate group contains one oxygen atom. Therefore, the triphosphate group in ATP contains a total of three phosphate groups multiplied by one oxygen atom per phosphate group, which equals to 3 x 1 = 3 oxygen atoms. However, there is an additional oxygen atom in the ribose sugar molecule that is attached to the triphosphate group, bringing the total number of oxygen atoms in the triphosphate group attached to ATP to 3 + 1 = 4. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.Rate this question:

ATP is observed in the processes of glycolysis, Krebs Cycle, and Electron Transport Chain, which are all part of cellular respiration. These processes involve the breakdown of glucose to produce ATP, the main energy currency of the cell. Dark Reaction, also known as the Calvin Cycle, is involved in photosynthesis and does not directly produce ATP. Alcoholic Fermentation and Lactic Acid Fermentation are anaerobic processes that produce ATP through the breakdown of glucose, but they are not part of cellular respiration. Ribosome Fermentation is not a recognized cellular process, and therefore, the answer does not include it.Rate this question:

C. Alcoholic FermentationExplanation
Alcoholic fermentation is the name of the cycle in which glucose is converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide by yeast or some bacteria. This process is commonly used in the production of alcoholic beverages and bread-making. It is an anaerobic process, meaning it occurs in the absence of oxygen. During alcoholic fermentation, glucose is broken down into pyruvate through glycolysis, and then pyruvate is further converted into ethanol. This cycle is essential for the production of alcoholic beverages such as wine, beer, and spirits.Rate this question:
