Why does Glycine have a much higher melting point than Glycollic acid despite having a similar relative molecular mass?
Wiki User

The universal energy molecule of the cell, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) cannot passively diffuse across the cell membranes. Despite its low molecular weight, ATP carries a strong negative charge making it hydrophilic and thus unable to diffuse across the lipophilic cellular membrane.
