Learn about Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), the crucial compound in driving cellular processes like Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration. ATP serves as a "charged" battery storing and releasing energy while ADP acts as the "uncharged" battery releasing energy. Discover the ATP/ADP cycle and how energy is stored and released between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate of ATP. Explore the process of breaking off the 3rd phosphate to release energy and adding a 3rd phosphate to store energy. Engage in the ATP/ADP Energy Cycle through activities using markers, colored pencils, and crayons to understand the concept effectively.

ATP Adenosine Triphosphate– Energy for a cell! (Page: 52) Critical Question: What is the compound used by organisms to drive cellular processes like Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration?
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is a chemical compound that organisms use to store and release energy
ATP Is a “charged” battery for a cell Adenosine Triphosphate Stores energy ADP Is an “uncharged” battery for a cell Adenosine Diphosphate releases energy
ATP and ADP are Biomolecules (Nucleic Acid)! Nitrogen Base Phosphate Sugar Nucleotide
ADP ATP
ATP/ADP cycle ENERGY! All of the energy is stored between the 2nd and the 3rd phosphate of ATP
