The Importance of Adenosine Triphosphate in the Metabolic Processes
ATP is the main source of energy for most cellular processes.
ATP captures chemical energy obtained from the breakdown of food molecules and releases it to fuel other cellular processes. The cycling of ATP and ADP in metabolic processes is the principal medium for energy exchange in biochemical processes.
Karl Lohmann (1929) Discovered ATP in Muscle Cells. Fritz Lipmann and Herman Kalckar (1941) Were The First To Recognize The Role of ATP in Energy Metabolism
