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.
Glucose is a high potential energy molecule. Carbon dioxide on the other hand is a very stable, low poten-. tial energy molecule. When a glucose molecule is converted to carbon dioxide and water during cellular. respiration, energy is released and stored in high potential energy ATP molecules. The three phases of. cellular respiration that oxidize the glucose molecule to carbon dioxide are glycolysis, the Link reaction. and the Krebs cycle.
