it is broken down to fuel chemical reactions & is created by chemical reactions.
During protein metabolism, the exact number of ATP molecules generated can vary depending on the specific amino acids being metabolized and the pathways involved. However, on average, the metabolism of one amino acid can yield around 14-17 ATP molecules.
More ATP is produced than is used.

In aerobic metabolism, a molecule of glucose is broken down in a series of enzymatic reactions within the mitochondria to produce ATP (energy), carbon dioxide, and water. This process is more efficient and produces a higher yield of ATP compared to anaerobic metabolism.

ATP (energy) is generated in your cells through cellular metabolism. Specifically the conversion of Glucose into ATP.
Aerobic metabolism results in the greater production of ATP compared to anaerobic metabolism. In aerobic conditions, glucose is fully oxidized in the presence of oxygen, yielding up to 36-38 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. In contrast, anaerobic metabolism, such as glycolysis, produces only 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule and generates lactic acid as a byproduct. Therefore, aerobic metabolism is far more efficient for ATP production.
The primary molecule for energy in metabolism is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Cells use ATP as a source of energy to power biochemical reactions necessary for various cellular processes, such as growth, repair, and movement.
The energy needed for metabolism comes from the breakdown of molecules such as glucose, fats, and proteins. During metabolism, these molecules are broken down to release energy in the form of ATP, which cells can use for various cellular processes.
