Metabolic processes, such as glycolysis, then regenerate the triphosphate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_triphosphate#ATP_recycling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_triphosphate#ATP_rec...
- tremon 7y agoI wouldn't classify that as "makes", though. The basic structure (AxP) remains roughly the same, only the energy transport (phospate group) is ejected or reassembled.
