Role of ATP in Biochemistry

Very Easy Biochemistry Bioenergetics

In cellular respiration, glucose is broken down to release energy for the cell's activities. This process involves several steps, including glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain. One of the key components in cellular respiration is ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which acts as the main energy currency of the cell.

What is the primary role of ATP in biochemistry?

To store genetic information.

To facilitate the transport of oxygen in the blood.

To provide energy for cellular processes.

To catalyze biochemical reactions.
