what is a full form of ATP ?
Answers
Adenosine triphosphate is a full form of ATP
The organic substance adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a hydrotrope that provides energy to various functions in living cells, including muscular contraction, nerve impulse transmission, condensate dissolving, and chemical synthesis. ATP is the "molecular unit of currency" of intracellular energy transmission and is found in all known forms of life.
It transforms to either adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or adenosine monophosphate (AMP) when eaten in metabolic activities (AMP). Other systems recycle ATP, allowing the human body to recycle its own body weight in ATP every day. It also serves as a coenzyme and is a precursor of DNA and RNA.
ATP is classed as a nucleoside triphosphate in biochemistry, which means it is made up of three components: a nitrogenous base (adenine), the sugar ribose, and the triphosphate.
Adenosine triphosphate
- ATP stands for Adenosine triphosphate.
- ATP is an energy-carrying molecule.
- Adenosine triphosphate is found in the cells of all living things.
- ATP captures chemical energy from the breakdown of food molecules.
- Adenosine triphosphate releases chemical energy to fuel other cellular processes.
- To drive metabolic reactions cells require chemical energy.
- For moving muscles, the cells needed chemical energy.
- Chemical energy is also required to transport substances across membranes.
