The process that makes ATP is cellular respiration.
Cellular respiration occurs primarily within the mitochondria of a cell.
And this process converts the energy from the food into ATP and it does so by breaking down glucose molecules with the help of oxygen which is known as aerobic respiration or even without oxygen which is called anaerobic respiration.
The main process of ATP production is cellular respiration and it happens in the mitochondria.
The key steps in cellular respiration include Glycolysis, Citric Acid Cycle, Electron Transport Chain.
And aerobic respiration requires oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not.
ATP or Adenosine triphosphate is the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level.
The structure of ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate, consisting of a nitrogenous base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three serially bonded phosphate groups.
ATP is the primary energy molecule that is used by the body at the cellular level and acts as the energy currency that powers all the biological processes such as nerve impulse transmission, protein synthesis and muscle contraction.
