Energy Production: Cells need energy to carry out their functions.
The primary source of
energy in most cells is adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is generated through processes like glycolysis, the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle), and oxidative phosphorylation.
Karl Lohmann (1929) Discovered ATP in Muscle Cells. Fritz Lipmann and Herman Kalckar (1941) Were The First To Recognize The Role of ATP in Energy Metabolism
