Question
1.what is the cellular process that needs energy from ATP?
2.how does ATP store?
3.how can ADP be "recycled" to form ATP?
4.how do proteins in your cells access the energy stored in ATP?


THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!!

Answer
Hi Ashley1.
1. All cell activities except simple diffusion utilize energy but I think you are asking about active transport
2.In high energy phosphate bonds
3.By the addition of a phosphate
 ADP  +  P  = ATP
4.Through the degradation of ATP.  A PO4 is slit off
