ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a molecule that has 3 phosphate molecules attached to it. It is produced in the mitochondria during cellular respiration, and a little is produced in the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis, but this is later used up in the light independent reactions. ATP is used as an energy source for cells to carry out functions like active transport. When a cell needs energy, it breaks one of the phosphates off of the ATP, which releases energy. After this, the ATP is called ADP (adenosine diphosphate)

∙ 10y agoATP is a compound called adenosine triphosphate. ATP is the energy molecule used by all cells to power secondary reactions to keep you alive. It is necessary because if we don't have it we cannot live.

What part of the cell forms the ATP?
Yes but not quite sure which part of the cell
What is ATP made from?
ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate. It is a nucleotide used as a coenzyme. It's role is to transport energy from one cell to another.
Where is an ATP nucleotide made?
surface of cell membranes
What part of cell releases energy from nutrients?
The Mitochondria is the cell part that releases energy.
What is the name of the energy currency used in the cell?
The main energy currency of a cell is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
How many ATP are made in the Krebs cycle part of cell respiration?
34-36 ATP are made in the Krebs cycle part of cell respiration.
What part of the cell forms the ATP?
Yes but not quite sure which part of the cell
What part of the cell produce atp?
Mitochondrion

Where is an ATP nucleotide made?
surface of cell membranes
How many ATP are made in the Kreb's cycle part of cellular respiration?
2 ATP are made
What part of ATP makes it useful to the cell?
it is regulated by the allosteric inhibitors
What can ATP power?
ATP is energy. It is made in the mitochondria which is the powerhouse of the cell. Without cells, your body can not function. So, from a broad aspect, ATP powers the whole body. More specifically, it powers the cell.
What is the name of the energy currency used in the cell?
The main energy currency of a cell is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
What part of cell releases energy from nutrients?
The Mitochondria is the cell part that releases energy.
What does the mitocondria do for the cell?
It helps in the formation of ATP It takes part in Krebs cycle. It provides various intermediates for cell.
Does most of the ATP produced in the cell is made in the cytoplasm?
Yes but in eukaryotic cells, ATP is also produced in the mitochondria. Its called the "powerhouse" of a cell for a reason, ya know. ;)
