is atp a chemical
In order for us to blink and think, we need the energy that ATP supplies to our cells. ATP is responsible for the energy needed to perform muscle contractions, nerve impulses, metabolism functions, and other various life sustaining functions. It supplies the energy for chemical and mechanical reactions in every cell. ATP is found in the cytoplasm of the cell. The cytoplasm is the gel-type filler of the cell where all of the organelles of the cell hang out. This location makes sense because the ATP needs to be near all of the cell parts so that it can supply them with the energy they need for chemical and mechanical reactions.
