Adenosine triphosphate; ATP

Beta- oxidation....................................................................................................................5
, is an organic compound that provides energy to drive
many processes in living cells, such as muscle
contraction, nerve impulse propagation, condensate
dissolution, and chemical synthesis. Found in all
known forms of life, ATP is often referred to as the
"molecular unit of currency" of intracellular energy
transfer.
ATP can be produced by a number of distinct cellular processes; the three main pathways in
eukaryotes are:
1. glycolysis,
2. the citric acid cycle/oxidative phosphorylation, and
3. beta-oxidation.
The overall process of oxidizing glucose to carbon dioxide, the combination of pathways 1
and 2, known as cellular respiration, produces about 30 equivalents of ATP from each
molecule of glucose
