what does atp stand for in respiration
ATP stands for Adenosine Tri-Phosphate, and is the energy used by an organism in its daily operations. It consists of an adenosine molecule and three inorganic phosphates.After a simple reaction breaking down ATP to ADP, the energy released from the breaking of a molecular bond is the energy we use to keep ourselves alive.TP is created via respiration in both animals and plants. The difference with plants is the fact they attain their food from elsewhere (see photosynthesis). In essence, materials are harnessed to create ATP for biological processes. The energy can be created via cell respiration.
