Phosphates have to leave the cell once used.

|
ATP, ADP, and phosphates are all reusable.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Phosphates have to leave the cell once used. ATP, ADP, and phosphates are all reusable.
Detailed explanation-2: -If a cell needs to spend energy to accomplish a task, the ATP molecule splits off one of its three phosphates, becoming ADP (Adenosine di-phosphate) + phosphate. The energy holding that phosphate molecule is now released and available to do work for the cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -During a process called cellular respiration, the cell uses energy from food, including sugar, proteins, and fats, and connects a free phosphate molecule onto an ADP molecule, creating ATP. The ATP will then be used for more cellular work. It will again leave behind ADP and a phosphate.
Detailed explanation-4: -ADP is combined with a phosphate to form ATP in the reaction ADP+Pi+free energy
