Cell Metabolism

We all use energy to survive. Metabolism is the total of all the chemical reactions an organism needs to survive, either plant or animal. Photosynthesis and glycolysis are necessary to life. These are intertwined with each other. There are a number of cycles involved, the basic one is the carbon cycle. There are also smaller cycles within the larger cycle.

The role of ATP in cell metabolism?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) plays a critical role in cell metabolism as the primary energy currency of the cell. It serves as an immediate source of energy for cellular processes, such as muscle contraction, active transport of ions across cell membranes, and synthesis of macromolecules. ATP is produced through cellular respiration and is broken down into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate to release energy for cellular work.

Simply put, the waste products of celluar respiration are CO2 and water. We exhale the CO2 and some of the water, and other excess water is filtered into the urine by the kidneys.
