This molecule is ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), a nucleoside.
Cells use ATP (adenosine triphosphate) as their immediate energy source.
Facilitated diffusion
A protein pump, such as the sodium-potassium pump in cells, uses ATP (adenosine triphosphate) as the molecule for energy. ATP provides the necessary energy for the pump to actively transport ions across the cell membrane.
This process occurs during oxidation, where a molecule loses electrons and energy is released. Oxidation reactions are important in cellular respiration, where glucose is oxidized to release energy for the cell to use.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is known as the energy currency of the cell. It is a molecule that stores and releases energy that is used for various cellular processes.
This molecule is ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), a nucleoside.

Active transport
Active transport
Cells use ATP (adenosine triphosphate) as their immediate energy source.
Energy is transferred to a molecule through a process called cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP, the cell's primary energy source. This ATP molecule is then used by the cell to fuel various activities like growth, movement, and metabolism.
ATP is adenosine triphosphate, and is the energy storage molecule of the cell. It is broken down into adenosine diphosphate, ADP, and a phosphate group, P, releasing energy the cell can use to do work.
Facilitated diffusion
Active transport
The energy available to the cell is stored in the form of a high-energy phosphate bond in the ATP molecule. This bond between the second and third phosphate groups is easily hydrolyzed to release energy for cellular processes.
Active transport requires energy to move a molecule.
