Anabolic reactions build new molecules and/or store energy. The energy of catabolic reactions is used to drive anabolic reactions. The energy for chemical reactions is stored in ATP. Often when I ask students What is ATP the answer they give is Energy.
Adenosine 5'-triphosphate, or ATP, is the principal molecule for storing and transferring energy in cells. It is often referred to as the energy currency of the cell and can be compared to storing money in a bank.ATP can be used to store energy for future reactions or be withdrawn to pay for reactions when energy is required by the cell.Animals store the energy obtained from the breakdown of food as ATP. Likewise, plants capture and store the energy they derive from light during photosynthesis in ATP molecules.hen one phosphate group is removed by breaking a phosphoanhydride bond in a process called hydrolysis, energy is released, and ATP is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
