atp
adenosine tri phosphate
atp
(i)"breathe again" or "breathe in and out,"
(ii)ATP, or adenosine triphosphate
(iii) for are: Working your muscles. Growth and repair of cells. Building larger molecules from smaller ones i.e. proteins from amino acids.
(iv)adenosine triphosphate
(v)Respiration:60% of energy escapes as body heat and 40% of energy is packaged directly into new chemical energy (ATP).
Combustion:Energy released in combustion is dissipated as heat and to some extent as light.
(vi)The biological processes that occur within all living organisms are chemical reactions, and most are regulated by enzymes. Without enzymes, many of these reactions would not take place at a perceptible rate. Enzymes catalyze all aspects of cell metabolism
(vii)Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
