Check it out: www.emc.maricopa.edu/faculty/farabee/BIOBK/BioBookATP.html In summary, ATP is comprised of three essential components: a ribose molecule (also a sugar) attached to a base of adenine (which is a complex of nitrogen and carbon molecules) attached to 3 string groups of phosphates. A phosphate group at the end of the string is snipped off in response to an enzyme, releasing usable energy and producing ADP (look it up yourself, Shep). Should this continue and another phosphate group is dropped, AMP is produced. Energy is also stored in ADP by a reversal of the "popping off" of the phosphate string groups. When this process and the larger processes in which it occurs end, the organism that benefits of it is dead. I'm really not interested in going further with this Shep. It is a distraction from my overall point. If you'd like to know more about biological energy exchange you will have to read it as I have done.-eom
