nonATPdependent
NonATPdependent refers to biological processes or molecular mechanisms that do not require adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as an energy source. ATP is often called the "energy currency" of the cell, as its hydrolysis releases energy that powers a vast array of cellular activities, including muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, and biosynthesis. However, many biological functions can occur without direct ATP input.
These nonATPdependent processes often rely on alternative energy sources or different principles of molecular operation. For
Examples of nonATPdependent mechanisms include the movement of small molecules across cell membranes via passive diffusion
