ATP serves an energy shuttle in the cell, coupling exergonic anf exergonic reactions. The terminal phosphate group of ATP is attached by a particular strong covalent bond that releases extra energy when broken. It is one of the four building blocks for RNA synthesis. Hydrolysis of ATP provides energy to drive exergonic reactions in the cell.arrow_forward
