Question
Chapter 22, Problem 22.34E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason as to why ATP is referred to as the primary energy carrier is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The molecule which helps in the migration of energy produced during the breakdown of food to the other cells is known as adenosine triphosphate or ATP molecule. ATP contains adenine as nitrogenous base, a ribose sugar and three phosphate groups.
