Question

Name the energy currency in the living organisms. When and where is it produced?

Answer 1

The energy currency in living organisms is ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). It is produced continuously during cellular respiration (and during daylight for photosynthesis) to keep cells alive. Production occurs primarily in the mitochondria during aerobic respiration. In plants, it is also produced in the chloroplasts during photosynthesis and in the cytoplasm during glycolysis.
