Through the first law of conservation of matter, matter can neither be created nor destroyed, only changed. This being said, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) can not be destroyed. It can, however, be broken up by several biological reactions into ADP (adenosine diphosphate). During these reactions, energy is released that a cell can use in order to perform certain actions.

What do mitochondiral and thylakoid membranes have in common?
They both use ATP synthase proteins in ATP production
What is meant by a net gain of two ATP molecules from glycolysis?
2 ATP
What molecule is the main source of energy for cells?
Carbohydrate
How many ATP's does 6 pyruvic acids make?
38 ATP makes 6 puyric acid
What energy is used in passive transport?
ATP is what is normally used for energy in cells.
How is ATP created from stored energy in the body?
ATP isn't created. The law of conservation of energy tells us that energy is neither created nor destroyed, only transferred from one form to the other. ATP is converted from glycogen to ATP. Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles.
How do cells replace the energy-rich ATP that is destroyed in energy-coupled reactions?
Both chloroplasts use light energy to synthesize ATP and mitochondria synthesize ATP using energy that's realeased by oxidizing sugars and fats.
What is the energy currency of cell?
ATP - adenosine triphosphate
How does the old ATP tally differ from the new ATP tally?
The old ATP tally differs from the new ATP tally by about 2 ATP.
What are the energy carrying end products of the light harvesting reactions?
NADPH and ATP
What is ATP what is its function?
ATP is known as Adenosine TriPhosphate. Hence the abbreviation ATP. ATP is produced by the ribosome in a cell. ATP is energy for the cell.
ATP production formula?
adp+p(i)--->atp ADP +P ---> ATP
How many ATP glycolysis?
1 ATP is used to begin.Also another ATP is used in glycolisis.
What produces 4 ATP but uses ATP?
Glycolysis produces 4 ATP but uses 2 ATP to start the process.
How is ATP different from cellular respiration?
ATP is a product.Respiration is a process.Respiration produces ATP.
What is the difference between ATPase and ATP synthase?
They both are enzymes related to ATP. The difference lies in that ATPase breaks down ATP while ATP synthase synthesizes ATP.
Is ATP polar?
No, ATP is hydrophilic
