ATP is produced by almost all living things in organelles called mitochondria found in cells. It is not energy itself, but rather temporarily "stores" energy in its' bonds. When the third phosphate bond is broken, energy is released. This creates ADP which has one less phosphate attached to the group.
ATP is the acronym for adenosine triphosphate. This compound is a nucleotide that can store large amounts of energy in it's last bond. Cells "run" by using ATP as a fuel source.
Adenosine
Tri
Phosphate
Adding one P to ADP (which has only 2 phosphates) takes energy which is stored in the last bond. You get this energy by eating food.
(Food) Energy + ADP + P ---> ATP
ATP minus P = ADP + P + energy.
It may be helpful to think of ATP as a battery that gets charged, and as soon as it is charged, it can give off a spark of energy that can be used to do work in the body.

Adenosine triphosphate is a nucleoside triphosphate used in cells as a coenzyme. It is used to transport chemical energy within cells for metabolism.
Another name for "ATP" is Adenosine triphosphate.

ATP production formula?
adp+p(i)--->atp ADP +P ---> ATP
What produces 4 ATP but uses ATP?
Glycolysis produces 4 ATP but uses 2 ATP to start the process.
What is the product made by the electron transport?
Adenosine triphosphate. ATP
What happens if there is no atp?
When there is no ATP, or little of it, then you will have no energy because ATP is a source of energy.
Energy produced in mitochondria is stored in a substance called what?
Do you mean "WHAT is the substance called, where energy produced by the mitochondria, is stored?"ATP is produced by the mitochondria and it is stored there too.
What is the energy currency of cell?
ATP - adenosine triphosphate
How does the old ATP tally differ from the new ATP tally?
The old ATP tally differs from the new ATP tally by about 2 ATP.
What are the energy carrying end products of the light harvesting reactions?
NADPH and ATP
What is ATP what is its function?
ATP is known as Adenosine TriPhosphate. Hence the abbreviation ATP. ATP is produced by the ribosome in a cell. ATP is energy for the cell.
How many ATP glycolysis?
1 ATP is used to begin.Also another ATP is used in glycolisis.
ATP production formula?
adp+p(i)--->atp ADP +P ---> ATP
What produces 4 ATP but uses ATP?
Glycolysis produces 4 ATP but uses 2 ATP to start the process.
How is ATP different from cellular respiration?
ATP is a product.Respiration is a process.Respiration produces ATP.
What is the difference between ATPase and ATP synthase?
They both are enzymes related to ATP. The difference lies in that ATPase breaks down ATP while ATP synthase synthesizes ATP.
Is ATP polar?
No, ATP is hydrophilic
How much ATP is produced during glycolysis?
Glycolysis produces 4 ATP however it uses 2 ATP in the process so the net gain is only 2 ATP
What do human and animal cells obtain through lactic acid fermentation during exercises?
ATP
