atp
what does ATP stand for
adenosine triphosphate
where is ATP produced and stored
mitochondria
what does ATP do
carries energy
what is ATP made up of
one adenine molecule, a ribose sugar, and three phosphates
where is the energy in ATP stored
bonds, most between second and third phosphate
adenosine diphosphate
adp
what does adp stand for
adenosine diphosphate
how is adp formed
ATP loses a phosphate group

bond between second and third phosphate breaks and releases energy
catabolism
chemical reactions where molecules are broken down
anabolism
chemical reactions where molecules are built
metabolism
all chemical reactions in your body
exergonic
reactions that release energy
endergonic
reactions that require energy
phosphorylation
adding a phosphate group
hydrolysis
breaking down a molecule by adding water
