ATP stands for Adenosine Tri-Phosphate, and is the energy used by an organism in its daily operations. It consists of an adenosine molecule and three inorganic phosphates.After a simple reaction breaking down ATP to ADP, the energy released from the breaking of a molecular bond is the energy we use to keep ourselves alive.TP is created via respiration in both animals and plants. The difference with plants is the fact they attain their food from elsewhere (see photosynthesis). In essence, materials are harnessed to create ATP for biological processes. The energy can be created via cell respiration.
ATP Synthase is the terminal step of oxidative phosphorylation (cellular respiration). Complexes I, II, III, and IV take electrons from NADH or FADH(2) and transfer them to O2 to form H2O. During this process protons (H+) are pumped out of the mitochondrial matrix into the outer mitochondrial space. The proton gradient that is formed as a result of this pumping action is what drives ATP synthase to favor the formation of ATP from ADP plus phosphate. The transfer of electrons to O2 is coupled to the formation of ATP such that if there is no ADP and phosphate, the rate of respiration dramatically decreases.
