ATP

ATP is a crucial energy store in living cells, produced during respiration and used in cellular processes. The human body contains about 250g of ATP, equivalent to the energy of a double battery. Despite this small amount, ATP is continuously formed and broken down, allowing the average person to process their body weight in ATP daily.

What is ATP primarily used for in living cells?
