Because Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is the engergy source each cell uses to carry out their functions.
So think of a cell like a rechargeable battery flashlight. In order for the light to work, it needs power from the battery. So the cell (lightbult) functions by the ATP (battery) it creates via Cellular Respiration or Glycolysis (Creating ATP without oxygen. lactic acid is the byproduct)
How is energy releasedrinks from ATP
No, ATP represents potential energy.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency used in cells. It stores and releases energy for cellular processes through the hydrolysis of its high-energy phosphate bonds.
Do you mean "WHAT is the substance called, where energy produced by the mitochondria, is stored?"ATP is produced by the mitochondria and it is stored there too.
ATP or adenosine triphosphate, is involved in energy transfer.
38 ATP of Energy
ATP can't lose energy......... because it is energy.
ATP stores energy.
ATP fuels the mitochondria in energy production.
ATP also known as Energy is stored in the Mitochondria.
No specific cell derives solely energy from ATP. All cells consume ATP by energy-requiring processes which are endothermic. ATP is the main source of energy for all cellular functions.
Mitochondria provides the ATP for cell.It oxidize glucose and store energy in ATP.
