Are ATP and ADP fuels?
ATP and ADP are not considered fuels. The fuels that are utilized in order to produce ATP and ADP usually come from the food that people eat.
Where do most complex organism get their energy?
They eat!i think by cellular respiration, because even if they eat that doesn't give them energy because first cellular respiration should break down the food into energy, because if cellular respiration did not break the food into energy we will not get energy from the food itself.
What does mitchondria do in a cell?
It is responsible for your energy, like chloroplasts in plants. It's also useful for inheritance studies because mitochondrial DNA is passed down directly from mother to child, unlike our chromosomal DNA which is a beautiful meadly from both our parents.
Where does a cell get the energy to achieve active transport?
Cells get energy from the food you eat. In particular, cells get energy from ATP which is product of cellular respiration in many organisms and photosynthesis in plants. When ATP is cleaved and leaves a phosphate (Pi) and ADP this reaction releases a great amount of energy, which can then be used by the cell.
What molecule collects the majority of the electrons from the food that you eat?
Molecules that have a positive charge collect electrons. This because they have more protons than electrons and positive charge attract negative charged electrons.
Are ATP and ADP fuels?
ATP and ADP are not considered fuels. The fuels that are utilized in order to produce ATP and ADP usually come from the food that people eat.
Where does the energy add a phosphate group to ADP to form ATP come from?
Energy is needed to add a third phosphate group to ADP to make ATP. What is a cell's source of this energy?
What molecules found in the food we eat is most commonly to broken down to make ATP?
Glucose is the molecule we use to produce ATP. ATP is produced by almost all living things in organelles called mitochondria found in cells.It stands for adenosine triphosphate and it is the major 'currency' of energy in the body.It is not energy itself, but rather temporarily "stores" energy in its' bonds. When the third phosphate bond is broken, energy is released.This creates ADP which has one less phosphate attached to the group.

How are the foods we eat and ATP related?
ATP contains chemical potential energy that will snuggle up to a metabolic reaction in your cells---like the contraction of muscles or sending electrical messages along your nerve cells---- and release the energy of the bonds that hold the third phosphate molecule to the the rest of the ATP(called ADP)ATP is able to move aroun d in the cytoplasm and deliver the energy to whereever it's needed...likewise it has to pick up this energy from the breakdown of the energy laden nutrients in your food---like glucose, starches, and fats. these large nutrient molcules are unable to move around and interact with energy requiring metabolic processes and transfer their energy---they need the energy intermediate molecule, the ATP.
What role do high-energy electrons play in the electron transport chain?
The electron transport chain uses the high-energy electrons from the Krebs cycle to convert ADP into ATP

What do humans use atp for?
sumthing to do with muscle contraction as ATP is needed to move the myosin heads in the myofibrils. but i need other roles of ATP in living organisms aswell....HELP muscle contraction and relaxion so enables movement secretion active transport-changes shape of protein in order for molecules to move against concentration gradient metabolic processes. x
Which molecule ATP or glucose stores more energy?
A glucose molecule can store much more energy than a molecule of ATP. Through cellular respiration, the energy stored in glucose is transferred to ATP molecules. ATP molecules then travel to the locations in the cell that need the energy.
Why not directly eat ATP?
ATP is used by cells as energy currency because it contains a "high energy" phosphate bond. Since it is high energy it is also labile, so if one were to eat ATP the high acidity in the stomach would cause this bond to break. The products of this reaction would be ADP and a phosphate ion. I'm not sure if this would be further broken down into AMP plus another phosphate, but I think that the ADP or AMP could be directly adsorbed by the stomach lining. Of course, these molecules no longer have the high energy of ATP, so one would not get additional caloric value.
What does a Mitochondria do in a animal and plant cell?
Synthesizes ATP, the energy molecule used to do all cellular work, out of the food you eat and the plant makes.
