Detailed explanation-1: -The cell has a special kind of molecule for storing that energy, and it’s called ATP. ATP (Adenosine tri-phosphate) is an important molecule found in all living things.

Detailed explanation-2: -The three phosphoryl groups are labeled as alpha (), beta (), and, for the terminal phosphate, gamma ().

Detailed explanation-3: -The structure of ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate, consisting of a nitrogenous base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three serially bonded phosphate groups.

Detailed explanation-4: -ADP is converted to ATP by the enzyme ATP synthase. ATP can also be broken down into ADP and inorganic phosphate by the same enzyme. The conversion of ADP to ATP and back again is known at the ATP-ADP cycle.
