How does ATP store energy for life's processes and how is it recycled?

Question

anonymous · Answer

ATP is an organic molecule with three phosphates stuck to it. The third phosphate you can think as hastily stuck on, and when removed, as happens in reactions, energy from the broken bond is released. As that bond was quite unstable it had lots of energy, this energy can be used to perform whatever needs to be performed.

It is recycled as it's constantly being made in the processes we call respiration. Aerobic respiration, which is glycolysis + Kreb's cycle + electron transport chain + chemiosmosis. Anerobic repiration, which include phosgene breakdowns, glycolysis and some others. :)
