In the late 70s and early 80s, television was a straightforward affair. Growing up during this period meant limited channels and no internet. Children's programming was primarily reserved for Saturday mornings, after-school slots, and a few evening shows. Classics like "Bewitched," "The Munsters," "Laverne & Shirley," and "I Love Lucy" were staples. News channels seemed impartial, focusing solely on reporting factual events.

ATP then delivers the energy to wherever it is needed in the cell. So ATP acts like an energy shuttle within the cell. The ATP molecule has three main parts - the…
