Explanation:
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: -The energy is stored in the links that connect the phosphate groups. A pyrophosphate bond is a type of covalent bond. Meal breakdown and phosphocreatine provide energy for ATP synthesis.
