I was going to wait another 24 hours or so... To a biochemist it goes further if one looks into the role that ATP plays in living cells: It is often referred to as the "molecular unit of currency" of intracellular energy transfer. That is the clever bit that turns the pun into a fine joke ... ATP as currency. 80 p. worth in this case. ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_triphosphate When you posted that sig, knowing that engineers and scientists always have their inside humour I thought it best to know more about ATP. Wikipedia is always a good source for such. |
