Glucose, where ATP comes from

2007-10-11 16:33:36 · answer #1 · answered by Stck 2 · 0 0

Plant cells use chloroplasts to absorb the energy of the sunlight and store it in moleules called glucose. Animal cells do the same thing only without the sunlight part. The mitochondria then breaks down the glucose which contains an enormous amout of energy, and releases it. The major source of energy obtained from glucose is Adenosine Tri-phosphate, otherwise known as ATP.

Not sure what you mean by transportable, but ATP is the source of energy in cells.

ATP, GTP, CTP, UTP! Depends on which body system you are looking at.
