This is a picture of plants. This picture represents ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). Plants produce ATP through cellular respiration (in the mitochondria) and photosynthesis (in chloroplasts). ATP is a nucleotide that contains a large amount of energy (in the phosphate bonds). This energy is released when the molecule breaks down, and is used for metabolic processes that occurs within cells (chemical reactions, motility, and cell division). ATP serves many more purposes and is found in every living organism.
