Synthesis of almost any chemical compound requires energy.
That energy is ATP, which is critically important to the biosynthesis of proteins, phospholipids, purines, pyrimidines and hundreds (if not thousands) of other substances.
We will take ATP involvement in protein synthesis as a case in point: a single protein may be composed of many thousands of amino acids.
It takes the breakdown of four high- energy phosphate bonds to link two amino acids together.
