ATP is the energy currency of the cell and is used to power a variety of cellular reactions
Biochemical processes that utilise ATP include:
Biosynthesis of macromolecules (e.g. polymer assembly)
Active transport (e.g. endocytosis / exocytosis)
Nerve transmission (e.g. propagation of action potentials)
Growth and repair (e.g. mitotic division)
Movement (e.g. muscle contraction)
Emission of light (e.g. bioluminescence)
