The correct answer is Secretion of enzymes.

Key points

It is an organic compound composed of phosphate groups, adenine, and sugar ribose.
These molecules provide energy for various biochemical processes in the body.
Therefore, it is called the “Energy Currency of the Cell”.
These ATP molecules are synthesized by Mitochondria, therefore it is called the powerhouse of the cell.
ATP is used for various cellular functions, including the transportation of different molecules across cell membranes.
Other functions of ATP include supplying the energy required for muscle contraction, circulation of blood, locomotion, nerve impulse propagation, Protein synthesis and various body movements.
The three phosphate groups present in this ATP molecule are called high-energy bonds as they are involved in the liberation of a huge amount of energy when they are broken.
This molecule provides energy for various life processes without which life cannot exist.
