Energy for life, the high-energy molecule that stores the energy we need to do just about everything

The ongoing “energy recycling,” through oxidative phosphorylation of “low energy” adenosine diphosphate (ADP) molecules, to “high energy” adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules (binding energy), and the subsequent hydrolysis of ATP molecules back to ADP (releasing energy)
