molecule that provides energy for cellular processes

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule that serves as the primary energy carrier in cells. It stores and transports chemical energy within cells, enabling various biological processes such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, and chemical synthesis. ATP is often referred to as the "energy currency" of the cell because it provides the energy needed for many cellular functions.
