Answer:

Because of its energy supply, ATP is necessary for all biological reactions.

ATP is employed both in salt and potassium pumping operations and in the cellular breathing mechanism.

Step-by-step explanation:

The breakdown of glucose, which frees the cell's energy for life functions, is an example of a catabolic response. Endothermic reactions are called anabolic processes in organisms. The connection between amino acids and a protein is an example of an anabolic response.

If a cell needs energy, this link breaks into adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and a free molecule of phosphate... With an excess power of the cell, this energy is stored by creating ATP from ADP and phosphate. For any muscular contraction, ATP is needed for metabolic reactions.

-To break down one glucose into pyruvate molecules in Glycolysis 2 ATP molecules 4 ATP molecules are produced for a net addition of 2 ATP molecules.

-An inorganic carbon is converted into sugar by ATP in photosynthesis.
