                                Every living cell relies on complex metabolic pathways to function, with roughly 100 to 150 moles of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) being hydrolyzed each day in the human body to ensure proper functioning. Anabolism, the constructive part of metabolism, demands a constant supply of this energy to build and repair the body's intricate structures.
