We commonly call ATP as the energy currency of the cell. Can you think of some other energy carriers present in a cell? Name any two.


The energy currency is the energy which is stored and released in living organisms. Adenosine Triphosphate, i.e., ATP acts as energy currency in plants and animals.

Some other energy carriers present in a cell are:


• GTP (Guanine Triphosphate)


• ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate)
