Storing <strong>Energy</strong><br />
A molecule of AMP [Adenosine Monophosphate] attaches a<br />
second phosphate group the bond stores energy <strong>and</strong> the<br />
molecule becomes ADP [Adenosine Diphosphate].<br />
What happens when a third phosphate group is attached?<br />
ATP [Adenosine Triphosphate]<br />
One muscle cell can consume <strong>and</strong> regenerate over 10,000,000<br />
ATP's a second.<br />
If ATP couldn't be regenerated, humans would have to consume<br />
nearly their body weight in ATP each day.
