ATP is used for energy storage and transfer in cells, acting as the primary energy currency of the cell. It also serves as a coenzyme in various cellular reactions, providing phosphate groups for phosphorylation reactions. Additionally, ATP is involved in cellular signaling and regulatory processes.
chemical work-polymers to monomers
transport work- pumping of substances across the membrane
mechanical work- contraction of the muscles
Production of complex molecules, Electrical impulses in nerves and the Nervous System, and contraction/expansion of muscles.
c) Uses ATP to add phosphorus group
The sodium-potassium pump, also known as the sodium-potassium ATPase, uses the most ATP during active transport. This pump hydrolyzes one molecule of ATP to move three sodium ions out of the cell and two potassium ions into the cell, against their respective concentration gradients.
The Calvin Benson cycle uses ATP (adenosine triphosphate), NADPH (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate), and CO2 (carbon dioxide) to create glucose.
Glycolosis uses two ATP to release the energy, creating four ATP.
