|
ATP is the form of energy the cell needs for its activities.
|
|
|
ATP is the form of light needed for plants to produce glucose.
|
|
|
ATP comes from the breakdown of glucose in the mitochondria.
|
|
|
ATP forms from ADP and a phosphate group.

Detailed explanation-1: -ATP is an excellent energy storage molecule to use as “currency” due to the phosphate groups that link through phosphodiester bonds. These bonds are high energy because of the associated electronegative charges exerting a repelling force between the phosphate groups.
Detailed explanation-2: -ATP acts as a cell’s storehouse of energy. It enables cells to store energy safely in small packets and release the energy for use only as and when needed. In other words, ATP serves to close the gap between energy-releasing reactions such as food breakdown and energy-requiring actions such as synthesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Beginning with energy sources obtained from their environment in the form of sunlight and organic food molecules, eukaryotic cells make energy-rich molecules like ATP and NADH via energy pathways including photosynthesis, glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
