The synthesis of ATP from ADP and phosphate and its role as the immediate source of energy for biological processes.

Synthesis

ATP and ADP + an inorganic phosphate
ATP is made up of adenine, ribose and three phosphates. When energy needs to be released, the last phosphate group is broken off by hydrolysis (bonding the molecule with water), releasing energy stored in the bond. This leaves ADP and an inorganic phosphate, which can be turned back into ATP by condensation (removal of water).

 ATP + H2O > ADP +P(i)
ADP + P(i) > ATP + H2O
Energy source
Energy is released in suitable, small amounts.
It is soluble.
There is a single, simple reaction to release it.
Energy is needed for the processes that living things carry out, for example active transport, muscle contraction, glycolysis.

    A solar system (with a battery system) of up to 10kW in a capacity that is installed at homes qualifies to be a residential solar system. The investment would be somewhere around Rs. https://www.loomsolar.com/collections/dealers-distributor-business-opportunities-in-india 1,00,000 per kW. The electricity bills of a home are generally Rs. 1,000 per month. Installing a solar system in such an establishment could result in savings of Rs.8,400 per annum. The investment is expected to have an RoI (payback period) of ~10-11 years and the return on investments will be around 8%.

    A direct current (DC) electric circuit consists of a source of DC electricity—such as a battery—with a conducting wire going from one of the source terminals to a set of electric devices and then back to the other terminal, in a complete circuit.

    DC wire is used to install on-grid and off-grid solar systems, street lights, home lighting systems, and other dc solutions-based systems.
