Summary Introduction

To describe:

The two important energy-carrier molecules in cells.

Introduction:

Energy produced by an exergonic process gives rise to energy-carrier molecules at the site of the reaction. These molecules trap the energy released as a result of an exergonic process, and supply it to an endergonic process. They keep on playing this role in a cyclic form. These molecules do not supply energy from a cell to another. Instead, they simultaneously trap and supply energy within the cells.

Summary Introduction

To describe:

Coupled reaction.

Introduction:

Coupled reaction involves the initiation of an endergonic process by utilizing the energy released by an exergonic process, which is carried by an intermediate like ATP or electron-carrier molecules.
