Describe the ATP molecule and its function within a cell.
easy as bro
ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate
and it is "the energy currency of life."
Furthermore, "ATP is a high energy molecule found in every cell. Its job is to store and supply the cell with needed energy."
(not my work, i'm copy and pasting, cause i'm a lazy butt) ATP is used for many cell functions including: 1- Transport work moving substances across cell membranes. 2- Mechanical work, supplying the energy needed for muscle contraction. 3- It supplies energy not only to heart muscle (for blood circulation) and skeletal muscle (such as for gross body movement), but also to the chromosomes and flagella to enable them to carry out their many functions. 4- A major role of ATP is in chemical work, supplying the needed energy to synthesize the multi-thousands of types of macromolecules that the cell needs to exist. 5- ATP is also used as an on-off switch both to control chemical reactions and to send messages.
if any of that doesnt make sense, just ask bro :D
