What is the function of ATP in living things? A ATP aids in protein folding and coiling. B ATP identifies DNA start sequences in preparation for transcription. C ATP is used to capture and transfer chemical energy. D ATP helps maintain the fluidity of cell membranes.

C ATP is used to capture and transfer chemical energy

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate, commonly known as ATP, is the energy currency for chemical reactions in living cells. ATP stores chemical energy in the bonds that holds its phosphate molecules and releases the energy when this bond is broken.

Energy is stored when a phosphate group is added to an ADP molecule to form ATP while the energy is released when phosphate group is removed from ATP to form ADP. Hence, ATP is used to capture and transfer chemical energy for processes that requires it
