Since 1929, when it was discovered that ATP is a substrate for muscle contraction, the knowledge about this

purine nucleotide has been greatly expanded. Many factors of cell metabolism revolve round ATP manufacturing and
intake. It is important to understand the concepts of glucose and oxygen consumption in aerobic and anaerobic life and
to link bioenergetics with the vast amount of reactions occurring within cells. ATP is universally seen as the energy
exchange factor that connects anabolism and catabolism but also fuels processes such as motile contraction,
phosphorylations, and active transport. It is also a signaling molecule in the purinergic signaling mechanisms.
By the 1970s, researchers had discovered that ATP synthase consists of three connected sets of protein
assemblies: a wheel like structure lodged in an internal mitochondrial membrane, a rod with one end fixed to the
wheel's hub, and a large cylinder that wraps around the other end of the rod. Previous work had shown that ATP is
created at a trio of sites on the cylinder, and that the rod played a key role in turning on the catalytic activity at these
sites.

ASSESSMENT NUMBER 2:

It affects our health because it is a process to gain energy or nutrients from a specific thing such as water. Water
has nutrients, it helps us to hydrate our body. The energy released from the hydrolysis of ATP into ADP + Pi is used to
perform cellular work. Cells use ATP to perform work by coupling the exergonic reaction of ATP hydrolysis with
endergonic reactions. ATP donates its phosphate group to another molecule via a process known as phosphorylation.
When the chemical bonds within ATP are broken, energy is released and can be harnessed for cellular work. The more
bonds in a molecule, the more potential energy it contains.

ASSESSMENT NUMBER 3:

Yes, taking supplements to boost ATP production in your body is good. The ATP your body produces and stores
come from the oxygen you breathe and the food you eat. Boost your ATP with fatty acids and protein from lean meats
like chicken and turkey, fatty fish like salmon and tuna, and nuts. While consuming big quantities can feed your frame
extra cloth for ATP, it additionally will increase your chance for weight gain, which could decrease strength levels. The
excess pounds cruel your body must work harder to move, so you employ up more ATP. Eat little, visit suppers. When a
loss of strength is an issue, it is higher to devour small food and snacks each few hours than three big food a day.
