Biology 1-ATP and Chemical Energy
How is energy stored in the ATP molecule?
By bonding the 2nd and 3rd phosphate
What types of carbon-based molecules(organic molecules) are the source for most of the energy in the foods you eat?
Carbs; lipids
Where is the energy stored in these molecules?
In between the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate
What type of organic compounds store the most energy?
Lipids and Carbs Proteins
