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.
