Question

why do organisms need both small \amounts\ of energy like atp and larger \amounts\ like glucose? organisms need both small \amounts\ of energy like atp because

Explanation:

ATP is the immediate energy source for cellular processes. It can be quickly used to power reactions like muscle contraction or active transport. Glucose is a long - term energy storage molecule. It is broken down through cellular respiration (in stages) to produce ATP. So, organisms need ATP for immediate energy demands and glucose (or other energy - rich macromolecules) as a reservoir to continuously supply ATP.

Answer:

Organisms need ATP for immediate energy use in cellular reactions and glucose as a long - term energy source to continuously produce ATP.
