ATP doesn't exactly become broken down, rather, they become dephosphorylated when they transfer the energy between their phosphate bonds and become ADP or AMP.

What molecule is used as cells as an energy source?
ATP (adenosine triphosphate), or ultimately it would be glucose.
How does ATP production differ depending on the type of carbon based molecule that is broken down?
The number of ATP molecules that are produced depends on the type of molecule broken down -- from my biology book
What kind of molecule provides the most ATP when it is broken down?
Nucleic Acid
How does energy transfer from food to body?
The food is first broken down into its simplest forms. The cellular organelle know as the mitochondria receives it and breaks it down even more producing ATP. ATP is the main energy source for the cell.
Which is the molecule that is broken down and reformed at higher rate when the cells metabolic activity increases?
ATP
Which part of the ATP molecule breaks free of the rest when an ATP molecule is used for energy?
the adenine
What process produces 2 ATP molecules from every glucose molecule it breaks down?
Anerobic respiration
What is the role of atp-?
energy molecules that breaks down into energy when needed by the body
What molecule is used as cells as an energy source?
ATP (adenosine triphosphate), or ultimately it would be glucose.
The energy of ATP becomes available to a cell when the molecule is what?
the ATP molecule is broken down
What breaks down nutrients and releases ATP during cellular respiration?
You need a glucose molecule and 2 ATP`s to form 36 ATP`s. Glycolysis, piruvate, Krebs cycle, electron transfer chain, ATP synthesis.
What molecule is formed when ATP loses a phosphate group and releases energy?
ADP (Adenosine diphosphate) Technically, ATP breaks into ADP and a molecule of inorganic phosphate.
How does the cellular respiration breaks down sugar?
i think it breaks down by ATP (ENERGY)
What molecule traps energy within cells when glucose breaks down?
ATP,energy is stored mainly between bonds between phosphate groups
What does Cellular respiration breaks down?
I think it breaks down ATP or glucose
What breaks down food molecules to make ATP?
proteins!
What is true of the light reactions of photosynthesis?
it breaks down ATP.
