<em>The ATP molecule can store energy in the form of a high energy phosphate bond joining the terminal phosphate group to the rest of the molecule. In this form, energy can be stored at one location, then moved from one part of the cell to another, where it can be released to drive other biochemical reactions.</em>
Producers get the energy they need from the sun. Consumers get their energy from the plants and animals that they eat. Decomposers get energy from eating dead plants and animals.<span />
