[CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
|
A compound composed of one adenosine and two phosphate groups that occurs when the high-energy phosphate bond is broken from ATP, resulting in the release of energy.
|
|
ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
|
|
|
ADP (adenosine diphosphate)
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -adenosine triphosphate (ATP), energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things.
Detailed explanation-2: -Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level.
Detailed explanation-3: -Think of it as the “energy currency” of the cell. 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.
Detailed explanation-4: -ATP is an unstable molecule which hydrolyzes to ADP and inorganic phosphate when it is in equilibrium with water. The high energy of this molecule comes from the two high-energy phosphate bonds.
