Document Summary
Energy use and conversion in a cell: two things we get from our food: Energy to be able to build more cells. Adenosine triphosphate (atp: atp is the energy currency of the cell, limited amount in cell, constantly converting stored energy into atp, each has a negative charge on each oxygen. Takes a lot to bond them together. Atp: a human at rest uses approximately 45 kg (99lbs)/day, at any moment one has <1g (0. 0035 oz) In this manner, atp functions like a rechargeable battery.
