Answer 2

What is ATP-Adenosine Triphosphate?

• 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”. These ATP molecules are synthesized by Mitochondria, therefore it is called powerhouse of the cell.
• The ATP molecule was discovered in the year 1929 by German chemist Karl Lohmann. Later in the year 1948, Scottish biochemist Alexander Todd was the first person to synthesized the ATP molecule.
• ATP – the energy-carrying molecules are found in the cells of all living things. These organic molecules function by capturing the chemical energy obtained from the digested food molecules and are later released for different cellular processes.

Functions of ATP:

The ATP is used for various cellular functions, including transportation of different molecules across cell membranes.

Other functions of ATP include supplying the energy required for the muscle contraction, circulation of blood, locomotion and various body movements.  

A significant role of ATP apart from energy production includes: synthesizing the multi-thousand types of macromolecules that the cell requires for their survival. ATP molecule is also used as a switch to control chemical reactions and to send messages.
