Answer:
Sexual reproduction begins with sperm and egg cells, which are produced through a process called meiosis. ... In sexual reproduction, a haploid sperm from the male parent fertilizes the haploid egg from the female parent to produce what is called a diploid zygote. Zygote is the technical term for a fertilized egg.

Explanation:
The ATP cycle is the series of reactions involving glycolysis, Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation that produces/synthesizes ATP in living cells. These processes collectively is called CELLULAR RESPIRATION. Glycolysis produces 2ATP molecules, Krebs cycle produces 2ATP while the electron transport chain (oxidative phosphorylation) produces 34ATP molecules.
This cycle of ATP as explained above is an important frequent event in cells because all organisms need energy to carry out their metabolic activities. ATP is the energy-carrying molecule that stores and releases energy for use by the cells, hence, it needs to be produced on a frequent basis.
ATP can be likened to a charged battery ready to release its stored energy. The energy is stored in the phosphate bonds that makes up its structure. When ATP releases its energy, it becomes ADP (Adenosine diphosphate). However, ADP is a reactant in the ATP cycle, which is phosphorylated with an inorganic phosphate (Pi) and catalyzes by ATP synthase to form ATP.
