Adenosine triphosphate 🧬 (ATP)
is a nucleoside triphosphate that provides energy to drive and support many processes in living cells, such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, and chemical synthesis.
!Found in all known forms of life, it is often referred to as the "molecular unit of currency" for intracellular energy transfer!
When consumed in a metabolic process, ATP converts either to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or to adenosine monophosphate (AMP). Other processes regenerate ATP. It is also a precursor to DNA and RNA, and is used as a coenzyme
Without it, there would be no #life
