  2. Do cells “think” about the life processes they carry out? • Cells have no thoughts. • We use words to describe actions that cells do.

  3. What does an ATP molecule consist of? Adenine, ribose, and three phosphate groups. • What do the lines between these parts of the molecule represent? Chemical bonds • What would be the result if the third phosphate group were removed? The remaining molecule would be ADP, and removing the third phosphate group would release energy.

  4. What is the difference between ATP and ADP? • ATP has three phosphate groups; ADP has two.

  5. What happens when a phosphate group is removed from ATP? • ADP is formed, and stored energy is released.
