Kindly expound the importance of ATP in cell.

Give concrete example to show its


relations. You can use representation.
- Adenosine Triphosphate, ATP in short, is what we know as the energy
“currency” for every cell of a living organism. In other words, it is the primary
source of energy of the cell to perform various cellular processes. Following
this further, ATP permits the cell to store energy momentarily and transport it
to fuel other cellular activities. Indeed, ATP is vital for it is involved in
numerous cellular processes. Some of which are active transport, muscle
contraction, and synthesis of DNA and RNA. From the previous module, it
was transpired that active cell transport requires energy to transport
substances in and out of a cell—which is ATP. Since active transport and
other cellular processes that require energy are essential for cells and living
organisms, it can be inferred that ATP is definitely crucial to every cell and
living organism.
