ATP
High calorie
It is the form of energy stored in a molecule of ATP.
It is necessary for all life without exception.
It is present in a cheeseburger.
It is stored in the bonds that hold atoms together in molecules.
It is a form of kinetic energy.
It is present in gasoline and firewood.
It can be released when covalent bonds are broken.

ATP provides the energy for cells to do what they do; without it nothing would be alive.
ATP consists of adenosine and a 3-phosphate ‘tail’.
ATP is ‘degraded’ (or reduced) to ADP when it releases its energy.
Used ATP molecules are discarded (‘thrown away’) by the cell, never to be used again.
A chemical reaction breaks one of its phosphate bonds.
A phosphate group is added.
Adenine bonds to ribose.
Electrons are excited when ATP is exposed to sunlight.

It has mass and takes up space.
It always has a pack of matches rolled up in its sleeves.
It has a fairly large nucleus (compared to C and H) and acts as a strong electron ‘grabber’.
We breathe it into our lungs and from there it diffuses into our blood and into our cells.
