Explanation:
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: -When ATP loses a phosphate it is changed into a compound called adenosine diphosphate (ADP). The breaking off of a phosphate group releases energy for biological work in a cell.
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.
