FULL FORM OF ATP
WHAT IS ATP
The full form of ATP is Adenosine Triphosphate.It is a high-energy molecules found in the cell of the human body,plant and animals.It is capable of storing and supplying the energy required by cells.
FUNCTION OF ATP
The human body is built up of different types of cells.Each type of cells performs a particular function which helps organism to perform task necessary for survival.For instance nerve cells communicate message to the brain and allow to think,make decision and more.In the same way muscle cells help us to produce force and motion,maintain posture and contraction of organs and more others functions.Cells need the energy to perform these task which is arranged by ATP.
SOURCE OF ATP
The food we eat is gradually oxidised in the cells and energy is released,which is used to produce the ATP so continuous supply of ATP is maintained.In other words energy is stored by obtaining from the breakdown of food as ATP.Similarly,plants store energy produced during photosynthesis in ATP molecules.
PRESENCE OF ATP
ATP is present in the cytoplasm of the cell.The cytoplasm is the gel type filler of the cell where all of the organelles of the cell present.ATP is required to be near all of the cell parts so that it can supply them with the energy they required for chemical and mechanical reaction.
ATP is a high-energy molecules.The main ingredients of this molecules are carbon,hydrogen,nitrogen,oxygen and phosphorus.Its chemical formula is -C10 H16 N5 O13 P3.
