ATP Cellular Respiration
Document Sample


The purpose of cellular
respiration is to
Cellular harvest electrons from
organic compounds,
Respiration such as glucose, and
use that energy to
make a molecule
called ATP
ATP is
Bonds formed
Adenosine
riphosp
Triphosphate
ATP is a molecule
that stores energy
when its bonds are
made – and
releases energy
when its bonds are
1 3 broken

This is a constant cycle in your body to give animals and plants.
