Question

directions: answer each of the following questions in a clear and concise manner. 1. compare and discuss how cells store energy and release energy using atp. be specific! you may draw the cycle.

Explanation:

Cells store energy by adding a phosphate group to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) to form ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through processes like cellular respiration and photosynthesis. When energy is needed, ATP releases energy by breaking the bond of its terminal phosphate group, turning back into ADP and a free phosphate. The cycle is: ADP + Pi + energy → ATP; ATP → ADP + Pi + energy.

Answer:

Cells store energy by forming ATP from ADP and release energy by converting ATP back to ADP. The cycle involves phosphorylation (ADP to ATP) and de - phosphorylation (ATP to ADP).
