Exercise
ATP: The Cell's Energy Currency
In this engaging exercise, students will explore the fascinating world of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as they investigate its role as the primary energy currency in cells, through interactive activities that simulate energy transfer and production in cellular processes. By the end of the lesson, students will creatively illustrate how ATP fuels everything from muscle contractions to biochemical reactions, enhancing their understanding of cellular energy dynamics.
