Eukaryotic cells rely on the molecular energy of ATP to sustain all of the reactions necessary to maintain life, in the absence of ATP, these reactions would come to a halt, and the cell would inevitably die.

ATP is a molecular compound that provides the energy needed by most cells to survive. ATP represents Adenosine triphosphate, which is an organic compound that provides energy to drive the essential metabolic reactions of living cells, such as:

  • Muscle contractions
  • Nerve impulses
  • Chemical synthesis
  • Nutrient absorbtion

In the situation in which a cell was to run out of ATP, these reactions would stop, given that they require ATP to function. This means that the cell would not be able to send or receive nerve signals, absorb the nutrients it needs, or even create necessary compounds such as proteins. The stoppage of these functions would lead to the death of the cell.

Why is water essential to life on a chemical level?
babymother [125]
Well Water is essential to life for a number of reasons. It is a useful solvent that exists as a liquid at the ideal range of temperatures for life as we know it on Earth, behaving as a perfect medium across which biochemical reactions can occur. Your cells transport resources across the spaces within and between them facilitated by this medium, just as your blood serves as the ideal medium for transporting oxygen-carrying corpuscles and a rich soup of nutrients, hormones, and even waste products being sent for filtration. The very structure of your tissues is reliant upon water content; consider the difference between a fresh loaf of bread and a stale (dry)one that can be crumbled between the fingers. Plant cells, just like animals cells, require hydration to function, too. In fact, right down to unicellular life forms, life as we know it on this planet relies upon water existing as a liquid in order to function on a <span>biochemical level. I hope that helps you.</span>
