Explain how ATP is recycled in cells.



ATP is recycled in cells by releasing a phosphate (creating ADP- di phosphate) to release energy. Vice versa, ADP can pick up a phosphate and become ATP, storing the energy in the bond that locks the new phosphate on. When the cell needs energy, it takes the ATP, converts it to a ADP and phosphate and uses the energy. Rather than disregarding the ADP and phosphate, they travel back to the mitochondria where they are recycled in respiration to produce another ATP
