Someone answers‚ you answer him another comes to your defense another aligns himself against you. The hour grows late‚ you must depart. And you do depart‚ with the discussion still vigorously in

organisms get energy from consuming another organism. ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) is a bit different from ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) because it has three groups of phosphates. It stores energy in a cell‚ when there is available energy‚ by adding a phosphates group to ADP molecules and making ATP.
