Detailed explanation-1: -The structure of ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate, consisting of a nitrogenous base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three serially bonded phosphate groups. ATP is commonly referred to as the “energy currency” of the cell, as it provides readily releasable energy in the bond between the second and third phosphate groups.
Detailed explanation-2: -This breakdown of the bond between the second and third phosphate groups in ATP is called hydrolysis, because it consumes a water molecule, as seen in Figure 4. The hydrolysis of ATP produces ADP and an inorganic phosphate group and releases free energy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Energy is stored in the covalent bonds between phosphates, with the greatest amount of energy (approximately 7 kcal/mole) in the bond between the second and third phosphate groups. This covalent bond is known as a pyrophosphate bond.
Detailed explanation-4: -ATP is adenosine triphosphate, which means it is a molecule of adenosine (adenine and ribose) chemically bonded to three phosphate groups. The chemical bond between the second and third phosphate groups is a high energy bond. When that bond is broken, energy is released, producing ADP (adenosine diphosphate).
