Question

Why is ATP an immediate source of energy?

Answer 1

ATP is an immediate source of energy because:

1. The glucose is rapidly fragmented inside the cell of the organism by the process of aerobic respiration, which produces energy in the form of ATP.
2. Sucrose and fructose, like glucose, must first be broken down into monomers before they can be used to provide energy.
3. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), immediate energy, is also employed to stabilize the movement of contraction in working muscles.
4. Cells, on the other hand, do not store ATP in large quantities.
5. As a result, once muscular contraction begins, the generation of additional ATP must begin immediately.
