Starch and ATP can both be described as molecules that store energy. Compare and contrast starch and ATP in terms of storing energy and supplying energy for a cell’s work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so starch was the right answer for long term energy storage!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so.. that can only mean the difference is the storage time.. atp stores energy for short periods of time.. while starch stores for long time.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and.. of course the reactions to chemicals cannot work without energy..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and since they cant tap the long term energy in starch.. they use the short term energy in ATP.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

starch actually has to go through a process to form ATP so cells can use ATP.
