ATP

• The structure of ATP consists of an adenine base, ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups.
• ATP has two main functions: to store chemical potential energy released by catabolic reactions and to transfer this stored energy to other molecules through hydrolysis or phosphorylation.
• ATP is the primary energy currency of cells, providing energy for various cellular processes such as muscle contraction, nerve impulses, protein synthesis, and DNA replication.
• ATP is the primary energy currency of cells.
• ATP can be converted back into ADP and Pi through the process of hydrolysis, releasing energy that can be used for various metabolic processes.
