ATP

ATP is a crucial energy store in living cells, produced during respiration and used in cellular processes. The human body contains about 250g of ATP, equivalent to the energy of a double battery. Despite this small amount, ATP is continuously formed and broken down, allowing the average person to process their body weight in ATP daily.
