ATP has three phosphate groups attached to the nucleic acid adenosine. The last or third bond has the most energy in it and when it is broken. that energy is used to drive cell activities. It may be helpful to think of ATP as a battery that gets charged, and as soon as it is charged, it can off a spark of energy that can be used to do work in the body.

Where is energy stored in the molecule of ATP?

An ATP molecule is made of ribose, adenosine, and phosphate. The energy is stored within the bonds of the phosphate molecules.

ATP


Would the formation of ATP molecules from glucose oxidation be an example of energy transformation or conversion?

Yes. It is a good example of energy transformation or conversion. In this energy stored in glucose molecule is released in small pockets. And stored in 38 ATP molecules. Here ADP molecule get converted into ATP molecule. When energy is required, ATP molecule is reconverted into ADP molecule.


Energy produced in mitochondria is stored in a substance called what?

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.


What molecule is energy captured for photosynthesis?

chlorophyll


The most concentrated source of stored energy is a molecule of?

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is considered the most concentrated source of stored energy in cells. ATP stores energy in the form of high-energy phosphate bonds that can be readily broken to release energy for cellular processes.


What molecule determines energy storage in cellular respiration?

Energy in glucose is released. That energy is stored in ATP


Does glycolisis release energy?

Yes it release energy of glucose.This energy is stored in ATP.


The energy of the Atp molecule is stored within which phosphate groups?

The energy of the ATP molecule is mainly stored in the high-energy bonds of the outermost phosphate group, known as the gamma phosphate group. When this phosphate group is hydrolyzed, releasing energy, it forms ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate.


Where in a molecule of ATP is the stored energy that is used by cells?

The energy in ATP is stored as potential energy in the triphosphate attached to the end. The molecule wants to remove one of the phosphates, when it does so, it releases large amounts of energy.


Where is the energy stored in ATP?

ATP (made in your mitochondria) stores energy in the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate group attached to it. engery is stored in all bonds but this is the min one broken to use the energy in the cell


The energy available to the cell is stored in which part of the ATP molecule?

The energy available to the cell is stored in the form of a high-energy phosphate bond in the ATP molecule. This bond between the second and third phosphate groups is easily hydrolyzed to release energy for cellular processes.
