ATP stands for ____
A
Adenine Triple Phosphate
B
Adenosine Triphosphate
C
Active Transport Protein
D
Atypical Processor
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level. 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-2: -ATP (Adenosine tri-phosphate) is an important molecule found in all living things. 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-3: -Answer and Explanation: ATP is called the energy currency of the cell because it is the molecule that all living organisms use for energy. Cells need energy to power the various chemical reactions that are going on continuously, and they use ATP to store and then produce the energy for these reactions.
