The levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)--the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana--have reached the highest-ever amounts since scientific analysis of the drug began in the late 1970s, according to the latest analysis from the University of Mississippi's Potency Monitoring Project (PMP).
(3) The molecule that cells use as their temporary storage unit for small amounts of energy is ATP (adenosine triphosphate - energy storage molecule) (4) ATP is a molecule composed of: A. Adenosine (made of simple sugar [ribose] + adenine) B. and 3 Phosphates.
The ATP Molecule. For 3-D Structure of this image using Jmol. Click here. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the nucleotide known in biochemistry as the molecular currency of intracellular energy transfer; that is, ATP is able to store and transport chemical energy within cells.ATP also plays an important role in the synthesis of nucleic acids.nergy is released by hydrolysis of the third phosphate group. After this third phosphate group is released, the resulting ADP (adenosine diphosphate) can absorb energy and regain the group, thus regenerating an ATP molecule; this allows ATP to store energy like a rechargeable battery.
