|
|
ATP catalyzes all metabolic reactions.
|
|
|
most of the energy that drives metabolism is supplied by ATP.
|
|
|
glucose is made of ATP.
|
|
|
ATP allows one organelle to be exchanged for another between cells.

Detailed explanation-1: -ATP is commonly referred to as the “energy currency” of the cell, as it provides readily releasable energy in the bond between the second and third phosphate groups.
Detailed explanation-2: -ATP – Adenosine triphosphate is called the energy currency of the cell. It is the organic compound composed of the phosphate groups, adenine, and the sugar ribose. These molecules provide energy for various biochemical processes in the body. Therefore, it is called “Energy Currency of the Cell”.
Detailed explanation-3: -ATP is also formed from the process of cellular respiration in the mitochondria of a cell. This can be through aerobic respiration, which requires oxygen, or anaerobic respiration, which does not. Aerobic respiration produces ATP (along with carbon dioxide and water) from glucose and oxygen.
