CE: ATP Lesson

ATP 

As discussed in the previous module, energy is a characteristic of living organisms.

All living organisms need energy to be able to survive. Our cells also need the energy to be able to do work. The form of energy our cells use is called ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Relationship Status?

What is the relationship between energy and ATP?

Watch the presentation below to find out.

Take a look at the picture below and trace the movement of energy from the sun into ATP.

Select each of the different parts of the image to learn about the flow of energy.
