Question
The enzyme responsible for making ATP is [blank_start]ATP[blank_end] [blank_start]synthase[blank_end].
Answer
  • ATP
  • synthase

Question 17

Question
How does ATP differ from other energy storage molecules, such as starch or glycogen?
Answer
  • It's a less stable molecule, so not used for long-term storage.
  • It is known as the universal energy currency because it releases energy in greater quantities.
  • Energy release from ATP is a multi-step process.
  • ATP is a polymer which has only one type of monomer.

Question 18

Question
What type of reaction is required to release energy from ATP?
Answer
  • Hydrolysis
  • Condensation
