ATP is a nucleotide that performs many essential functions in the cell. First, it provides the energy for most of the energy-consuming activities of the cell. Second, it is one of the monomers used in the synthesis of RNA and DNA. Lastly, it regulates many biochemical pathways.

∙ 10y agoAdenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) is a multifunctional nucleotide, and is most important in cell Biology as a coenzyme that is the "molecular unit of currency" of intracellular energy transfer.[1] In this role, ATP transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism. It is produced as an energy source during the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration and consumed by many enzymes and a multitude of cellular processes including biosynthetic reactions, motility and cell division.[2] ATP is made from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or adenosine monophosphate (AMP), and its use in metabolism converts it back into these precursors. ATP is therefore continuously recycled in organisms, with the human body turning over its own weight in ATP each day.[3]

What is ATP what is its function?
ATP is known as Adenosine TriPhosphate. Hence the abbreviation ATP. ATP is produced by the ribosome in a cell. ATP is energy for the cell.
What is the function of the mitochcndria in a plant cell?
Same as in an animal cell. The generation of ATP.
What is cell respirations function?
The purpose of cell respiration is to convert carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into ATP. Cells then use ATP as fuel to drive the cell processes.
What is the function of the mitochondria in the cell cytoplasm?
The mitochondria's purpose is for cell respiration and generate ATP, the energy source for the cell.
Why does the body need oxygen in the air?
Oxygen is required so that we can make ATP. ATP is the energy that the cell needs to function.
What is ATP what is its function?
ATP is known as Adenosine TriPhosphate. Hence the abbreviation ATP. ATP is produced by the ribosome in a cell. ATP is energy for the cell.
Does the nucleic acid ATP function as an energy carrier in the cell?
ATP
What is the function of ATP energy?
To do cell work.
What is the function of the mitchonria in animal cell?
To produce ATP which is the energy that powers the cell
What is the function of the mitochcndria in a plant cell?
Same as in an animal cell. The generation of ATP.
What is the organelle that function is cell respiration and production of ATP?
mitochondria
What is cell respirations function?
The purpose of cell respiration is to convert carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into ATP. Cells then use ATP as fuel to drive the cell processes.
WHAT IS a cells ATP good for?
The energy a cell needs to survive and function.
What function do mitochondria?
It act as a powerhouse.They produce ATP in the cell. ATP store the energy and release when necessary
Which phrase best describes the function of the ATP molecule?
ATP is a source of energy for enzymes in a cell.
What is the function of the mitochondria in the cell cytoplasm?
The mitochondria's purpose is for cell respiration and generate ATP, the energy source for the cell.
What can ATP power?
ATP is energy. It is made in the mitochondria which is the powerhouse of the cell. Without cells, your body can not function. So, from a broad aspect, ATP powers the whole body. More specifically, it powers the cell.
