Adenosine triphosphate, and organism molecule that is that main source of energy for cell processes.
When cells break down food molecules , some of the energy in the molecules is released as heat.
and then also it has to do with your body

ATP is is a nucleotide made up of a chian of three phosphate groups. The chain in unstable becuse the phosphate groups are negativly charged. Its important to the body because it is used to power chemical reactions.

Cells use there remaining energy to make ATP. ATP can be used to power chemical reactions. ATP is a nucleotide made up of a chain of three phosphate groups

ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate. It is organic molecule that acts as the main energy source for cell processes. It is important because the body needs it to function.

ATP is a nucleotide made up of a chain of three phosphate groups. It is important because ATP is used to power chemical reactions in your body such as building molecules. It is also a portable form of energy inside of cells.

Energy is released and used to make ATP. ATP is an organic molecule that is the main energy source for cell processes. ATP is important because your body needs ATP to power chemical reactions, such as those that build molecules.

ATP: Adenosine triphosphate, an organic molecule that acts as the main energy source for cell processes. Composed of a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and three phosphate groups. Is the main energy source for cell processes.

ATP is when cells break down food molecules, some of the energy in the molecules is released as heat. Cells use much of the remaning energy to make ATP. ATP is a nucleotide made up of a chain of three phosphate groups. It is important to the body to make energy for your body to move around and do work.

ATP is a portable form of energy "currency" inside cells. It is important to the body because it helps to break down glucose in the body. The body needs glucose to be broken down.

ATP is a nucleotode made up of a chain of 3 phosphate groups. The chain in unstable becuas phosphate groups are neativily charged.

ATP is a Adenosine triphosphate, an organic molecule that acts as the main as the main evergy .
It is composed of a nirtogenious base a sugar and three phosphate groups. thats exactly what it is.

ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate. It is an ester of adenosine and triphosphoric acid, C10H12N5O4H4P3O9, formed esp. aerobically by the reaction of ADP and an orthophosphate during oxidation. Or it can be formed by the interaction of ADP and phosphocreatine along w/ certain other substrates. It serves as a source of energy for physiological reactions, esp. muscle contraction.

ATP is Adenoseine triphosphate.it is a multifunctional nucleotide and is a coenzyme that is the molecular unit of currency, according to wikipedia!!!!!

Here is what I know about ATP: It is known as adenosine triphosphate. It is an organic molecule that acts as the main energy source for cell processes. It is composed of a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and three phosphate groups. It is also known as a portable currency inside cells. Power is used to power chemical reactions, so it is important.

ATP is the power of the cells and it is a type of nucleatide made up off three phophates group. This is important because it provides the cells with power and the cells help you move and do every thing for your body.
