OpenStudy (beginnercountrysinger):

Describe the ATP molecule and its function within a cell.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

atp is the currency of our cells and it is what drives our cells.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Atp or adenosine triphosphate is pure energy and it cannot be stored.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It becomes adp or adenosine diphosphate when used.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cells get energy from ATP by removing a phosphate group and that releases the energy. ATP has 3 phosphate groups and adp only has 2 because 1 group is taken away.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To get ATP again the cell just adds 1 phosphate group.

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

each bond between phosphate stores energy...when dis bond is broken energy is released...

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Someone already answered this with a good source of information, why did you bump this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ATP requires energy from the outside source. Starch, glucose, and fat molecules are used to reform ATP a molecules.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ATP is converted to ADP, when energy is released by breaking a phosphate group.
