Role of ATP as Energy Currency

Very Easy Biochemistry Bioenergetics

In biochemistry, bioenergetics refers to the study of energy flow through living systems. One important aspect of bioenergetics is understanding the role of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) as a primary energy currency in cells. ATP is used in various cellular processes, including muscle contraction, active transport, and biosynthetic reactions. What is the primary reason that ATP is considered the main energy currency in biological systems?
