Detailed explanation-1: -To maintain homeostasis, every cell must constantly monitor its energy level and appropriately adjust energy, in the form of ATP, production rates based on metabolic demand. Continuous fulfillment of this energy demand depends on the ability of cells to sense, metabolize, and convert nutrients into chemical energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -ATP is consumed for energy in processes including ion transport, muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, substrate phosphorylation, and chemical synthesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -When the cell has extra energy (gained from breaking down food that has been consumed or, in the case of plants, made via photosynthesis), it stores that energy by reattaching a free phosphate molecule to ADP, turning it back into ATP. The ATP molecule is just like a rechargeable battery.
Detailed explanation-4: -The ATP is used for various cellular functions, including transportation of different molecules across cell membranes. Other functions of ATP include supplying the energy required for the muscle contraction, circulation of blood, locomotion and various body movements.
