Chapter 5, Problem 13SQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The adenosine triphosphate is the energy molecules that are produced by the cell respiration process. The ATP molecules are essential for many functions of the body such as muscle movements, transmission of nerve impulse, transposrt of nutrients across the membranes, regulation of immune system, signal transduction pathways etc.
