- The energy produced during respiration is stored in the form of ATP molecules in the cells of the body and used by the organism as when required.
- ADP (Adenosine Di-Phosphate, low energy content), Inorganic Phosphate (Pi) and ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate, high energy content) are the substances present inside a cell.
- The energy released during respiration is used to make ATP molecules form ADP and inorganic phosphate.
ADP + Phosphate + Energy → ATP
(Low energy) (For respiration) (High energy)
- Thus, energy is stored in the form of ATP.
- When the cell needs energy, then ATP can be broken down using water to release energy. Thus:
ATP → ADP + Phosphate + Energy - The energy equivalent to 30.5KJ/mole is released in this process.
- ATP is known as energy currency of cells.
