Understanding ATP and Its Role in Cellular Energy

The video from Moomoomath and Science introduces adenosine triphosphate (ATP), an energy-carrying molecule crucial for cellular activities. ATP consists of adenine linked to d-ribose, with three phosphate groups connected by covalent bonds. When these bonds break, energy is released, which is vital for cellular functions. The video concludes with a call to action to subscribe and share the channel's content.
