The Role of ATP When a cell gradually breaks down GLUCOSE during RESPIRATION, it may not require the energy release immediately. This energy is sued to build a molecule of ATP. ATP can the be broken down to release the chemical energy stored within when it is required by the cell. This will produce ADP (Adenine Di Phosphate) plus an inorganic phosphate.
