ATP:

  1. ATP – Adenosine triphosphate is called the energy currency of the cell.
  2. It is the organic compound composed of the phosphate groups, adenine, and the sugar ribose.
  3. These molecules provide energy for various biochemical processes in the body. Therefore, it is called “Energy Currency of the Cell”.
  4. These ATP molecules are synthesized by Mitochondria, therefore it is called powerhouse of the cell.

Cell transport that requires ATP: Active transport.
