ADP is like an uncharged battery. ATP is like a charged battery, ready to provide energy to do work in the cell. The charging of ADP into ATP takes place in the mitochondria. Fat and starch are stable (last a long time) whereas ATP goes dead too quick and will need to be recharged.

glucose is a carbon chain molecule (sugar). When the bonds in the chain are broken, energy is released. That energy is used to turn ADP into ATP. Glucose is the "electricity" used to charge the battery.

What are the number if protons, neutrons, and electrons
marishachu [46]

protons and electrons are both always the atomic number which is 9 in this case.

For neutrons you subtract the atomic number (9) from the weight of the atom (18.998) some teachers will want you to round to the nearest whole (19). We do this because the number of protons is the atomic number so if you subtract the protons from the whole weight of the atom you would have the electrons and neutrons left. Since electrons weigh so little we don't have to subtract them. Weighing neutrons and electrons would be like weighing an elephant (neutrons) and then putting one marshmallow on the scale (electron).
