Question

Where is energy stored in $\mathrm{ATP}$?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. The energy is stored in the links that connect the phosphate groups.
2. A pyrophosphate bond is a type of covalent bond.
3. Meal breakdown and phosphocreatine provide energy for$\mathrm{ATP}$ synthesis.
4. When energy is required, the bond between the final phosphate group and the rest of the$\mathrm{ATP}$ molecule is broken, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.
5. The energy generated in mitochondria during cellular respiration is stored as$\mathrm{ATP}$.
6. It's known as the cell's energy currency and works similarly to storing money in a bank.
7. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert available water and carbon dioxide into energy and glucose.
8. There are numerous ways to convert glucose to pyruvate.
