For photosynthesis, ATP helps to provide energy needed for the carbohydrate synthesis in the Calvin/Benson/Bassham Cycle.
And in cellular respiration, they create 36 ATP, that is broken up into three different parts. First, is that they come from glycolysis, which is the first step in breaking down glucose to extract energy for cellular metabolism. Next comes the Krebs Cycle, which oxidizes the pyruvate formed during the glycolytic breakdown of glucose into Carbon Dioxide. Finally, we have the Electron Transport Chain, where a series of complexes transfer electrons from a redox reaction which happens during the aerobic respiration.

ATP is the main energy-providing molecule in living organisms.
The statements that are true are the following:
1. The levels of microsomal enzymes are decreased.
Microsomal enzymes are functional parts of the human liver, which participate actively in the drug metabolism. It has been shown that the activity of these enzymes is lower in children, reaching its full activity in adult individuals.
2. First pass elimination is reduced because of the immaturity of the liver.
First pass elimination is a phenomenon of drug metabolism, that occurs in the liver or the gut and involves the reduction of the drug concentration before it reaches the systemic circulation. In neonates, the liver is immature and undergoes several changes during the postnatal period.
3. Gastric emptying is slowed because of slow or irregular peristalsis.
Peristalsis is a term referring to the movement of food to several positions of the digestive tract, through muscle contractions. Gastric emptying is strongly affected by peristalsis. Some children have irregular peristaltic movement.
During exercise there is an increase in physical activity and muscle cells respire more than they do when the body is at rest. The heart rate increases during exercise. The rate and depth of breathing increases - this makes sure that more oxygen is absorbed into the blood, and more carbon dioxide is removed from it.
