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.

 

ATP is a high energy molecule and is considered as the energy currency of the cell. This is so because the terminal phosphate bond is highly unstable and easily broken to liberate the energy.
