Answer;

ATP

Phosphorylation

Most cellular work is accomplished by ATP energizing molecules by phosphorylating them.

Explanation;

  • When a cell uses chemical energy to perform work, it uses the energy released from an exergonic reaction to drive a endergonic reaction
  • Phosphorylation involves the transfer of a phosphate group to a molecule or compound.
  • ATP is a molecule that provides energy for body cells to carry out their functions, such as transport, movement of muscles.
  • Cells obtain energy from ATP, through hydrolysis of ATP molecules. The energy released from the hydrolysis of ATP into ADP is used to perform cellular work.
