Adenosine Triphosphate is a chemical in the body that's commonly referred to as the "currency of energy" in your cells. It's produced by [[Mitochondria]] and is the energy that drives all (?) metabolic processes. ATP losing a phosphate (and turning into ADP) creates a waste hydrogen atom and gives us a set amount of energy. But we can recharge them. We only have about **100g of ATP in us at any given time**, but we **use our entire body weight worth of ATP over a given day**. **** # More ## Source - self - [[Good Energy (book)]] - [[Exercised]] ## Related
