Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the primary energy carrier in all living organisms.
Recognize that ATP is used in various cellular processes, such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, and chemical synthesis.
Learn that all living cells, regardless of type (plant, animal, bacterial), require ATP to perform essential functions.
Consider the role of mitochondria in eukaryotic cells, where ATP is produced through cellular respiration.
Note that even prokaryotic cells, like bacteria, have mechanisms to produce ATP, such as glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation.
