[quote]Well, a DNA molecule is made of the four substances adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine. The adenosine triphosphate OS reallt just the part of the adenine the connects too the backbone of the DNA. Although im only a freshman in high school, so i am unsure of the benefit of the adenosine triphosphate as of now. you may want to try and find the benefit of adenine to help[ you answer this question.

Actually, ATP:
- captures most of the energy which would have been lost as heat during respiration
- releases energy in precisely controlled amounts
- will instantly break down with a demand for energy
- can break its phosphate bond and transfer energy to other substances with no energy loss.

What are 3 examples of ATP giving energy to cells?
Adenosine triphosphate or ATP is the energy currency of the cell. One example where ATP is used is for muscle contraction.
What are adenosine monophosphate used for?
used in the formulation of growing organism in petry plates
Which is a small molecule found in living organism?
salt
How organism use the energy- rich molecule in the photosynthesis?
atp
What type of organism has a single Cell and one DNA molecule?
They are known as Prokaryotes.
What would an organism use for quick energy?
Adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP)
One of the principal compounds that living things use to store energy is?
It depends on how long the organism wants to store it. Fat is used for longer term; and ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is used for short term. ATP has 3 phosphates; after it is used, it drops a phosphate molecule, turning into ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate). However, ATP can only be used for so long as the body has so much of it; after ATP runs out there is the lag ("the wall"). However, fat is burned after that.
What is motochonria?
mitochondria is an organelle in a cell in an organism. its job is to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is used for energy
What is the most important end product of respiration has the most greatest benefit to an organism?
ATP - Adenosine Triphosphate
What is the largest molecule in an organism?
RNA is a nucleic acid that forms a copy of DNA for use in making proteins. RNA can also act as an enzyme, promoting the chemical reactions that link amino acids to form proteins. Adenosine triphosphate is an extremely important molecule formed by a nucleotide.

How does atp performs work?
Adenosine Diphosphate + Phosphate --> Adenosine Triphosphate Adenosine-P-P + P --> Adenosine-P-P-P The addition of a phosphate molecule to the end of the chain is an endothermic reaction, so energy is taken in for the bond to form. Therefore, when the bond is broken energy is given off (exothermic). This energy can be used in a variety of ways by an organism, ie for Active Transport pumps to use energy and pump minerals against a concentration gradient, or for muscle contraction.
Which molecule contains the chemical energy produced during photosynthesis?
During photosynthesis, water, carbon dioxide, and light come together in the cells to create the molecule called glucose. During cellular respiration, the glucose is broken down into 36 to 38 molecules of Adenosine Triphosphate, or ATP, which is used to provide energy to the organism.

Molecule used by cells to store and transport energy for cell activities?
That's two different questions. Organisms store energy mainly in lipids; cells do also, although they often have large quantities of glucose ready to metabolize and in a pinch, proteins can also be used as storage molecules. In animals, glycogen is an important storage molecule for immediate conversion to glucose and energy transfer. In plants it's mainly starch. The transfer of energy is a very complex question. If you mean transfer of chemical energy in order for the organism or its body cells to use to do work, then adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the most abundant chemical that's used, altho' there is at least one other nucleotide triphosphate (GTP) that occasionally comes into play.
What energy carrier compound is found in all living organisms?
The most common energy carrier molecule of living organisms is adenosine triphosphate. It is found in all living cells. It captures energy that is obtained from the breakdown of food molecules.
What are adenosine monophosphate used for?
used in the formulation of growing organism in petry plates
