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.
Confidence votes 9.2K. Unlike other energy sources, such as glucose, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a short-term energy boost to the cell. ATP is ineffective for long-term energy storage.Because of this, ATP has large amounts of energy that is released when it is turned into ADP, which is useful for chemical reactions that require high energy charges within the cell.ATP is analogous to a fully-charged battery, which can sustain large amounts of energy in little time, but does not last long.In effect, ATP is mainly used for quick reactions while other sources, such as glucose, is used for energy storage.onfidence votes 9.2K.
