ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)

  • ATP is a nucleotide molecule.
  • Adenosine is made up of adenine and ribose.
  • Triphosphate stands for three phosphate groups that are attached together as well as to the ribose sugar. 
  • ATP is a high energy molecule and is considered as the energy currency of the cell.
  • This is so because the last two phosphate bonds are highly unstable and easily broken.
  • The terminal phosphate bond of ATP is hydrolyzed to produce ADP (Adenosine diphosphate) and a phosphate molecule.
  • The process of formation of ATP is called phosphorylation.
  • It occurs during the light reaction of photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
  • The energy released is used in the energy-requiring reaction of the metabolism.  
  • For example, the energy required for the synthesis of macromolecules, such as carbohydrates and proteins, is derived from ATP breakdown.
  • ATP also supplies the energy for muscle contraction and nerve impulse conduction.
