Where does ATP come from?

OpenStudy (zkoqmosii):

ATP comes from the food we eat. The food we eat is converted into glucose which is broken down with oxygen (aerobic) to form 36 ATP molecules. If our body does not have oxygen we convert fat or glucose from the body this method is called fermentation. You can only make 2 ATP molecules without oxygen (anaerobic) ATP is made in the mitochondria (with oxygen) and in the cytoplasm (without oxygen).
