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.
