What is the function of ATP?

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is considered as the energy currency of the cell. This means that it is used as one of the most important energy source for driving metabolic functions (like muscle contraction) within the cell.

ATP stores large amount of energy within its phosphoanhydride bond (present between two phosphate). Whenever a cell requires energy, ATP undergoes hydrolysis and gets converted into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate and the large amount of stored energy is released that is further utilized by the cell for driving its functions.

increase soil erosion                                             reduce soil erosion

cattle grazing                                                         hydroseeding

deforestation                                                         contour plowing

                                                                                planting vegetation

plant roots basically hold the top soil

together and stop soil erosion because

in such situation top soil is not removed

during flood but cattle grazing causes

soil erosion because cattle consume the

grasses and herbs and top soil is exposed.

same situation occurs because of

deforestation, the trees and plants are cut

down to expose top soil which causes soil

erosion
