ATP

Real World Example

Imagine trying to keep your smartphone charged throughout a busy day of calls, messages, and apps. Just like your phone relies on its battery to store and deliver energy when you need it, our bodies depend on adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as a cellular 'battery' to store and provide energy for all physical activities. ATP acts as the energy currency in our cells, much like your phone battery is crucial for powering your device, ensuring that all the tasks our bodies perform are fueled and ready to go when needed.
