Answer:

ATP is the energy currency of the cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

ATP, adenosine triphosphate: an ester of adenosine and triphosphoric acid, C10H12N5O4H4P3O9, formed especially aerobically by the reaction of ADP and an orthophosphate during oxidation, or by the interaction of ADP and phosphocreatine or certain other substrates, and serving as a source as a source of energy for physiological reactions, especially muscle contraction. It is used to power many cellular processes, including muscle contraction, protein synthesis, and cell division. ATP is also used to transport molecules across cell membranes and to store energy for later use.
