Answer 8

fat stores energy for longer periods and ATP is immediate energy currency which can be spent at any retail outlet in the cell. By which I euphemistically mean that it can be used to power most energy requiring cellular processes.

Mud didn't mention why: basically, fats contain all their energy in many bonds between carbons and hydrogens in hydrocarbon 'tails.' These bonds are all low energy, which means the molecule is stable and molecularly well suited to long term energy storage - but because there are many bonds in each fat, together they all contain quite a bit of energy.

ATP is exactly the opposite: it stores most of its energy in one very high energy bond. That third phosphate group has bulky negatively charged oxygens which really don't want to be close to the negatively charged oxygens on the other phosphates, so a great deal of energy is stored in the bond. It wants to break. And when it does it releases a great deal of energy.

Brought that up because I rather like the contrast between the two at the molecular level.

Answer 9

well Fat is known for being stored for longer periods of time so that when your body needs it it gives off the energy then, while ATP is like a NOW energy storage like it immediately gives off energy for your body

Answer 24

glucose is a carbon chain molecule (sugar). When the bonds in the chain are broken, energy is released. That energy is used to turn ADP into ATP. Glucose is the "electricity" used to charge the battery.
