Guided Practice 2: Illustration

Directions: Individual Work. Using a short bond paper, illustrate / draw the ATP-ADP
Cycle. Make your work creative. You can use different colors to represent or specify the
molecules and processes related to the ATP-ADP Cycle.

Independent Practice: Critical Thinking

1. When a phosphate group is removed from ATP, energy is released and ADP results.
ATP is converted into ADP and a phosphate group.
2. ATP is one of the principal compounds that organisms use to store and release energy.
It is considered as the energy currency of life. ADP is an organic compound which
mediates the energy flow in the cells. ATP has three phosphate groups while ADP has
only two phosphate groups.
3. The transfer of electrons down the ETC is energetically favored because NADH is a
strong electron donor and O2 is an avid electron acceptor. However, the flow of
electrons does not directly result in ATP synthesis.
4. ATP is converted into ADP when the bond between the second and third phosphate
group is broken.
