Lipids store the most energy. Fats store about 80% of the energy in your body, and when they are broken down they give the most energy. Carbohydrates make about 32 molecules of ATP, and dare used more commonly to make the ATP.
Carbohydrates and ATP are related to one another but are not the same. The body ingests carbohydrates, absorbs them into the bloodstream in the form of glucose, and then uses the mitochondria to turn glucose into ATP. ATP is the main energy source in mammalian organisms.
When it comes to carbohydrates or fats producing more ATP, fats tend to produce more ATP per gram. Fats contain about 33 percent more ATP than carbs.
The old ATP tally differs from the new ATP tally by about 2 ATP.
You can use carbohydrates, fats, or proteins.
Carbohydrates and ATP
ATP
Carbohydrates are key in providing energy to cells. The energy from the food is converted to ATP which is then stored within the cells for use.
ATP
Carbohydrate, lipids, or proteins can be broken down to make ATP. Carbohydrates are the molecules most commonly broken down to make ATP.
What do proteins carbohydrates lipids ATP and nucleic acids all have in common
ATP, NADH, and CO2
