FOOD TECHNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -process, ATP is degraded to adenosine diphosphate (ADP), a molecule with only two phosphate bonds. To recharge the molecule by adding the third phosphate group requires energy derived from the breakdown of foodstuffs, or substrates.

Detailed explanation-2: -An ATP molecule is formed with three phosphate groups associated with adenine residue. The two terminal phosphate bonds of the three phosphate groups are high energy bonds. This is why during the hydrolysis of ATP the terminal phosphate bond is broken leaving on two phosphate bonds making the molecule ADP.

Detailed explanation-3: -Usually only the outer phosphate is removed from ATP to yield energy; when this occurs ATP is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP), the form of the nucleotide having only two phosphates. ATP is able to power cellular processes by transferring a phosphate group to another molecule (a process called phosphorylation).

Detailed explanation-4: -The structure of ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate, consisting of a nitrogenous base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three serially bonded phosphate groups.
