No, enzymes are natures catalysts....put simply, they help to speed up the rate at which chemical reactions occur without being used up themselves
ATP is the most common form of energy within organisms, the storage form of ATP varies between different species
In humans the most common forms of storage are fats (lipids) stored in adipose tissue, and glycogen (a branched polysaccharide of glucose) stored mainly in liver and muscle tissue...these are eventually broken down and used as fuel for the body to produce ATP
Proteins (from muscle tissue) can also be used to provide energy during starvation periods hence leading to muscle wasting

Used to convert ADP to ATP by transfer of a high-energy phosphate group A reserve high-energy compound?
An enzyme called ATP synthetase.
What are sugar phosphates used for?
store or transfer energy
Compound used to store excess energy reserves?
Triglyceride
What substance can be used to stop enzyme reaction?
prohibitors are used to enzyme reaction
What organic compound is used to store large amounts of energy?
Lipids
Why is starch a suitable for storing energy?
Starch can be broken down into glucose by an enzyme. Glucose is then used for respiration which provides energy.
ATP is an enzyme?
no, ATP stands for Adenosine TriPhosphate. Not an enzyme.
What is the model of enzyme activity?
In a model of enzyme action, the enzyme can attach only to a substrate (reactant) with a specific shape. The enzyme then changes and reduces the activation energy of the reaction so reactants can become products. The enzyme is unchanged and is available to be used again.
What are the two polysaccharides used to store energy?
glycogen and starch are the two polysaccharides used to store energy
Which process is directly used by autotrophs to store energy in glucose?
Photosynthesis is used by autotrophs to store energy in glucose.
What kind of foods store energy in the body?
Fat is used to store energy. Carbohydrates.
How the words catalyst enzyme and activation energy are related?
They are all used to start a reaction.
Organisms store some of the energy from their food in their?
Cells store starch (which can be used for energy) in plastids.
What are the 6 nutrients and their uses?
Carbohydrates - For Energy and for transforming into fats. Fats - For Organ protection and for Mainly Energy Proteins - For Growth 'n' repair and can be used for energy. Minerals - For Human Metabolism Vitamins - For Enzyme and co-enzyme reactions Water - For a solvent.
What can be said of a relationship between the use of an enzyme and the energy of the reaction?
More energy is absorbed by reactions without an enzyme.
What can be used to store energy?
Adenosine Triphosphate
What is used by plants to store energy?
Photosynthesis.
