There is some evidence that certain inherited gene mutations can increase the risk of cancers of the colon and rectum. 1  For instance, some forms of colorectal cancer, and their underlying causes, have been associated with family history. Those include: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) â This rare condition triggers the development of thousands of polyps in the lining of the colon and rectum.
ADP is a lower-energy molecule that can be changed back into ATP by the addition of another phosphate group. Different types of carbon-based molecules (carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins) can be broken down to produce ATP. The breakdown of the different molecules produces different amounts of ATP. Carbohydrates, especially the simple sugar glucose, are most commonly broken down to make ATP.
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP): ATP is a molecule that serves as the universal energy source for all plants and animals. In your body, ATP breaks down into adenosine diphosphate plus a separate phosphate group. This releases energy, which is used to power your body's cells. During periods of inactivity, the reverse reaction takes place, and the phosphate group is reattached to the molecule using energy obtained from food. In this way, the ATP molecule is continuously being recycled by your body.
