Carbohydrates and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) are two different molecules with different purposes. Chemically ATP is different as it has nitrogen and phosphorus, which carbohydrates such as glucose do not. The chief difference involves the chemical pathway of respiration where glucose is a reactant, and ATP is ultimately the product.
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the substance that is made from the energy released from broken carbohydrate bonds during cellular respiration. ATP is the primary energy currency in cells and is used to power various cellular processes.
Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are broken down to make ATP. Carbohydrates are most often broken down to make ATP because they are the body's preferred source of energy due to their quick and efficient conversion into ATP through glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.
Consuming 1g of fat yields about 9 kcal/g and can produce around 38 ATP molecules. Consuming 1g of carbohydrate provides about 4 kcal/g and can produce around 36-38 ATP molecules. So, in this case, consuming 1g of fat would yield slightly more ATP compared to 1g of carbohydrate.
Glucose is a larger molecule that stores more energy than ATP. Glucose is broken down into ATP through cellular respiration, releasing energy in the process. ATP is a smaller molecule that can quickly release energy for cellular processes.
ATPase is an enzyme that breaks down ATP to release energy, while ATP synthase is an enzyme that helps in the synthesis of ATP by combining ADP and inorganic phosphate using energy from a proton gradient. In summary, ATPase breaks down ATP to release energy, while ATP synthase helps in the production of ATP.

approximately twice as much ATP as a gram of carbohydrate
Carbohydrate
glucose
its really ATP. put carbohydrate on a quiz and you'll get it wrong. Carbohydrate? i Buenos !
NO, ATP is Glucose; a carbohydrate is A carbohydrate is an organic compound which has the empirical formula Cm(H2O)n; that is, consists only of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, with a hydrogen:oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water)
ATP
Water
No. The difference is that fermentation does not use oxygen and produces on 2 molecules of ATP,instead of 38 ATP.
Sweet potatoes generally have a higher carbohydrate content than regular potatoes.
