ATP – Adenosine triphosphate

... ATP - Adenosine triphosphate Atp (adenosine triphosphate) is required in all living cells as a continual supply of energy, to be used in processes, which keep the organism alive. ATP is a mononucleotide molecule made of three main components, the base (adenine), a phosphate chain and a ribose sugar backbone. [image001.gif] The first step in the production of ATP and the store of energy is Glycolysis and occurs in both aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. In both cases Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell, mostly because glucose is too big to get in to the mitochondria and because even before the prokaryotic mitochondria organelle invaded the cell, this process was taking place. The process starts with glucose (a six carbon sugar) and two ATP molecules needed to kick-start the process by transferring glucose in to Fructose Bisphoshate another six-carbon sugar.
