Adenosine tri-phosphate is the primary intra-Cellular energy transfer molecule found in Cells. Starting with Adenosine mono-phosphate (Amp) we add a [highly] negatively charged phosphate moiety to obtain Adenosine di-phosphate (Adp). It takes a huge amount of energy to add the third [highly] negatively charged phosphate group to the chain to form Adenosine tri-phosphate; and - like a popcorn kernel popping - this biochemical energy is released on demand on individual basis's throughout the Cell as needed, and when the enzymatically controlled biochemical reaction takes the energy released when Atp dissociates to Adp + p and stores it in chemical bonds elsewhere.

Repeat; this biochemically stored energy is translocated and used in all areas of the Cell.

What nutrient is the building blocks of your cells?

Proteins are the building blocks of cells. They are essential for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs.


Are the cells specialized for different functions?

Yes, certain types of plant cells are specialized for different functions. This is the same in all type of cell families (animal...) Some examples of this are: 1. Parenchyma Cells, which are the most general of plant cells. They consist of thin flexible cell walls. They contain a large central vacuole and can carry out most of the metabolic functions of the plant. Mesophyll cells of the leaf are parenchyma cells. The fleshy tissue of most fruits also contain parenchyma. 2. Collenchyma Cells, which have a much thicker primary wall than the parenchyma cell. Grouped in strands or cylinders, they support young plants. 3. Sclerenchyma Cell, which function in support of the plant. They contain a thick secondary wall containing lignin. Basically, these cells function best when dead. 4. Tracheids, which are water conducting elements. These cells are dead and are found along with vessel elements, making up the plants xylem. 5. Sieve-tubes, which function in carrying food throughout the plant. They are kept alive and nourished by companion cells. These are found in the plants phloem.


What has the function of transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide?

The function of transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body is primarily carried out by red blood cells. These cells contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen in the lungs and releases it to tissues throughout the body. Carbon dioxide is carried back to the lungs by red blood cells to be exhaled.


Why do the cells of a redwood tree need oxygen?

The cells of a redwood tree need oxygen for cellular respiration, which is the process that converts glucose into usable energy. Oxygen is necessary for this process to occur and for the cells to function and grow.


What is one function of oxygen?

One function of oxygen is to support cellular respiration, which is the process by which cells convert nutrients into energy. Oxygen is used as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, allowing cells to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for energy.
