AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The process of photosynthesis also makes and uses ATP-for energy to build glucose! ATP, then, is the useable form of energy for your cells. ATP is commonly referred to as the “energy currency” of the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -The form of energy that is in ATP is called chemical energy. Chemical energy is a type of potential energy and is stored energy within chemical bonds. ATP, adenosine triphosphate, is a molecule with an adenine nucleotide attached to three phosphate groups. The bonds between the phosphate groups store the energy in ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -The phosphate tail of ATP is the actual power source which the cell taps. Available energy is contained in the bonds between the phosphates and is released when they are broken, which occurs through the addition of a water molecule (a process called hydrolysis).

Detailed explanation-4: -The cell has a special kind of molecule for storing that energy, and it’s called ATP. ATP (Adenosine tri-phosphate) is an important molecule found in all living things. Think of it as the “energy currency” of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an organic compound that provides energy to drive many processes in living cells, such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, condensate dissolution, and chemical synthesis.
