Question

What are the functions of ATP

Answer 1

provides the energy for respiration
-provides the energy for photosynthesis
-stores the initial energy released by respiration
-provides the energy for all cytoplasmic chemical synthesis
-make all other organic compounds from its own complex molecules

Answer 2

ATP acts as source of energy in several cellular and physical processes happening within the body.

Step-by-step explanation:

The major functions of Adenosine Tri Phosphate (ATP) are –

a) ATP provides energy for cellular metabolic processes.

b) ATP assists in active transportation of macromolecules across the cell against the concentration gradient.

c) ATP functions in both extra and intracellular signaling by releasing itself from synapses and thereby modulates calcium and cyclic AMP level inside the cell.

d) Maintain the structure of the cell

e) Provides energy for muscle contraction by binding to the myosin
