ATP is adenosine triphosphate - the molecule that cells use for energy to power all their processes.

An organism's anatomy and physiology is all about how the organism is built and how its parts function. The anatomy requires energy to build and to maintain. The organism's functions also require energy.

Adenosine Triphosphate, and it's the most basic form of energy used by cells. I haven't taken anatomy and physiology yet, though, so good luck with that part =\

I see that the never ending saga of D.B. Cooper goes on! Pieces of what is believed to be D.B's chute are believed to have been uncovered in Wahsington state. I would do a quick search of DB's history with the FBI etc. It might be a break from the Presedential race coverage & the b-ball scores!

ATP may refer to -- according to Wikipedia
(in Chemistry/Biochemistry) --
"Adenosine triphosphate, the universal energy currency [whatever that means] of all known living organisms"

It's your main energy source, when that runs out then we use glucose, once that ran out, we start to use protein then we will begin to look like one of those starving children in Africa.

ATP is about energy provided to muscles by sugar conversion.

It can be equated to the LUNGS providing OXYGEN to the blood and taking out CO2

ATP is what makes a muscle move.

It comes from sugar, which is processed by the liver and put into the cells with the aid of Insulin.

Sugar without insulin would burn cells.

So INSULIN combines with GULCOSE provided by processing from the stomach and liver and carried by the blood stream to muscles.

The blood provides O2

The sugar provides nutrients or power.

Insulin protects the cells from burning by the sugar

It is a biological balance

Without insulin the sugars would burns cells and kill the body

With insulin the sugars feed the cells

The blood oxygenates them

Then it is a chemical reaction of O2 a complex sugars that allows muscle cells to work.

As they work they convert ATP to something else which is akin to CO2

When your body lacks a supply of sugar, the liver and Pancrease converts fat cells to sugar (it eat's the body) or it creates artifical sugar (ketose).

The liver and Pancrease can only produce KETOSE for a limited period of time before it must convert FAT to GLUCOSE

If you have a defective liver or pancrease you have problems with sugars and insulin.

The body needs a constant supply of sugars and oxygen to survive.

Glucose is the most readily utilized sugar

Lactose comes next

When a person goes into a coma doctors supply direct GLUCOSE to feed the cells and O2 to provide Oxygen

The BODY must produce INSULIN to deliver the GLUCOSE safely to the cells

When a cell is called upon to do work (such as moving a finger or arm or eyelid) the ATP is expent and turned into something else, it then requires infusion of more SUGARS and O2 to replenish the ATP in the cell to do more work.

This is called the life cycle.

ATP from SUGAR mixed with INSULIN is required to MOVE the DIAPHRAGM which brings O2 into the body and removes CO2 from the body.

If this cycle is interrupted the BODY ceases to function properly and death can occur.

That is today's lession in Physiology

As for ANATOMY

Insulin and Sugar works on the bones.

TOO MUCH insulin decalcifies the bones and makes them prone to breakage and makes teeth prone to decay

Too much insulin comes from too much sugar

For a body to function properly it must have sugar in an even keel so as not to produce too much insulin, yet enough to produce enough food to feed all the cells

It is a BALANCE

When you EAT a piece of CHOCOLATE CAKE or DRINK a shot of WHISKEY you are injecting TOO MUCH SUGAR TOO FAST into the body, which PRODUCES TOO MUCH INSULIN to combat that process.

As a result bones and teeth go at risk, but the BODY would rather scarifce them than burn muscle cells because of all that sugar.

The LIVER works over time handling and filtering all that sugar

The LIVER is the traffic cop that passes SUGAR on to the body or CONVERTS it to STORED FAT for later use.

PART of this process is determined by the type of SUGAR.

There are LARGE and SMALL sugars

LARGE sugars get stored mostly and used less

SMALL sugars get USED most and stored less

A potato is a large sugar

A peach is a small sugar

A shot if Whiskey is a very LARGE sugar

It requries double the work to refine it

The LIVER refines and filters SUGAR

The PANCREASE produces INSULIN and KETOSE

GLUCOSE is the safest sugar

Fructose comes next

Lactose comes next

Sucorse comes next

MOST packaged foods are SUCROSE

Fruits are fructose

Milk is Lactose

The body needs about 80% glucose and 10% each Lactose and Fructose

ALL "TOSE" must be converted into GLUCOSE once it reaches it's limit of absorption.

GLUCOSE doesn't exsit purely in the food groups, it is either LACTOSE, FRUCTOSE or SUCROSE

GLUCOSE only exists as refined material administered by a doctor

This is about as much as I know about the subject

atp is adenosine triphosphate, atp is energy. you use it to do pretty much anything
