ATP All cells use ATP for energy. Helps cells build molecules and move materials ATP is like Cells can “spend” ATP, but they have to work to make more ATP so they don’t run out.

How do cells use ATP?

How do cells get ATP? Food does not contain ATP Plants and Animals perform Cellular Respiration to convert the energy in food to ATP. Amount of ATP that can be made depends on the type of molecule Glucose yields about 36 ATP molecules A Triglyceride can yield up to 146 molecules of ATP

Before you go… Food Proteins Contains Like Whose energy is converted into By cells.
