Adenosine triphosphate
ATP another word for energy.
ATP is an energy molecule produced by the organelle called the mitochondria. The word ATP means adenosine triphosphate.
You make ATP after you "break" the phosphorus group off and produce ADP. You can add another phosphorus group to ADP producing then another ATP.
The term "chondriosomes" can refer to mitochondria. The mitochondria has been called the "powerhouse" of a cell because it is the location of ATP production for cellular energy.
Another scientific word for respiration is "cellular respiration," which refers to the process by which cells break down glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP. It involves a series of biochemical reactions that take place within the mitochondria of cells.
ADP can form ATP again by bonding with another phosphate. This process creates a renewable cycle of ATP formation and breakdown
ATP
When ATP is used, it becomes ADP or Adenine Di-Phosphate. Adding another phosphate will "recharge" ATP.
Glycolysis generates a net gain of 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. However, glycolysis consumes 2 ATP molecules during certain steps in the pathway, resulting in a total production of 2 ATP molecules.
ATP is used to detach myosin heads and move them back to position for another "power stroke."
Cells convert energy stored in ATP into Kinetic energy. :)
Chemical formula: C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP Word formula: Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy (ATP)
