abbr [ey·tee·pee]

Example of ATP in a Sentence
It’s not that I’m lazy, it’s just that my ATP, the body’s battery, has a very, very slow charging time!
2. otherwise known as the body’s energy currency for a reason that can be explained by comparing the way energy gets stored and transferred in the body to the way money gets deposited and withdrawn from a bank but, luckily for you, won’t be explained that way because that metaphor will fly over your head because your broke ass can’t relate to it. see also: SALARY
Example of ATP in a Sentence
ATP is generated in mitochondria. Yes, the production of ATP, the energy molecule that’s the common component of many reactions, takes place in mitochondria. Ahhhhhhhh, I see the light bulb is going off in your head now as to why mitochondria is called the powerhouse of the cell, which is the ONLY thing you remember from biology class. Well, that is, it’s the only thing you remember other than the abject boredom because that shit was a total snoozefest!
