Triphosphate‚ also known as ATP‚ is the molecule responsible for the energy that we‚ and all other organisms‚ need to survive. It is produced primarily in the processes of aerobic and anaerobic respiration by oxidative and substrate phosphorylation. 4 molecules of ATP are produced from 4 ADP and 4 inorganic phosphates in glycolysis in the cytoplasm of every cell‚ by the oxidation of a triose phosphate into two molecules of pyruvate. In anaerobic respiration these are the only 4 ATP molecules produced

Name Class Date 8.1 Energy and Life Lesson Objectives Describe the role of ATP in cellular activities. Explain where plants get the energy they need to produce food. Lesson Summary Chemical Energy and ATP Energy is the ability to do work. Organisms need energy to stay alive. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a chemical compound cells use to store and release energy. An ATP molecule consists of adenine‚ the sugar ribose‚ and three phosphate groups. Cells store energy by adding a

The test required three hours of multiple choice questions and timed essays‚ and it left me feeling both exhausted and validated. While passing the test was a serious accomplishment‚ it was not an isolated act. Much of my growth and success came before the exam‚ rather than after it. I attribute my score to a year of hard work and learning in my AP English class‚ which greatly enriched my life
