Oxygen (which we breathe in from the air) and Glucose (a sugar which we get form our food)
Both oxygen and glucose are carried around the body via the blood
All cells must do work to stay alive and maintain their cellular environment. The energy needed for cell work comes from the bonds of ATP.
They get energy each time you eat
What we call a muscle is really a large number of cells that work by contracting. Work that all cells do uses glucose, a simple sugar. This is used in producing ATP the "battery" that generates energy for the cells,
Cells don't store energy. They make it as they need it.
Cells don't store energy. They make it as they need it.
They work similarly because they all need energy and they all use energy.
ATP transports energy across a cells membrane
Cells use the energy from ATP for active transport and cell division.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy carrier that fuels most kinds of cellular work in living cells. ATP stores and transfers energy within cells for various biological processes like metabolism, growth, and synthesis of molecules.
Glucose provide the energy the cells need to work.
for growth, repairing cells, to move, for cellular work
They create energy for the cell
