ATP

Cell Biology Search volume: low Schema: DefinedTerm

Definition

Adenosine triphosphate, the primary energy currency of all living cells. ATP stores energy in its high-energy phosphate bonds, which are hydrolyzed to drive cellular processes including muscle contraction, active transport, nerve impulse propagation, and biosynthesis. ATP is continuously regenerated through cellular respiration in mitochondria.

In Practice

ATP is widely used in cell biology and related fields. Key applications include:
