Just as how fossil fuels power up automobiles, ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate) functions as the energy-giving molecule that enables humans and most other living organisms to perform their basic functions in life, such as “synthesis, reproduction, active transport, and temperature control”. However, unlike a machinery which would only stop functioning when it runs out of fuel, living organisms (or at least its higher forms) would cease to exist when ATP disappears from the equation. Thus, because of its crucial role for the survival of human beings as well as of other living things, it is also important to know how ATP is produced, consumed, and what specifically makes it very important for living organisms. To answer this question, it would be best to have a clear insight of what Energy is and where it originates. Basically, energy is measured in living organisms in the currency of ATPs, which is its most basic unit. In turn, ATP
