In order to transfer energy, living things use a molecule called ATP.
Biocheicmal processes that utilize ATP include...
Synthesis of macromolecules (e.g. protein synthesis)
Active transport (e.g. endocytosis & exocytosis)
Nerve transmission (e.g. propagation of action potentials)
Growth and repair (e.g. mitosis)
Movement (e.g. muscle contraction)
Emission of light (e.g. bioluminescence)
All of the above
