ATP is a molecule with an unstable structure, meaning that it wants to change. When it does, turning into ADP, it releases energy, which is then used by the rest of the cell.
"Main source for cell processes" is a little vague, but it sounds like you're probably talking about adenosine triphosphate or ATP.
ATP
nulecotide
That is true; the potential energy in an ATP molecule is derived mainly from its three phosphate groups.
Yes. It is composed of a molecule of glycerol chemically combined with two fatty acid molecules and a phosphate group.
Nucleic Acid
The sides (uprights) of the DNA molecule are composed of alternating deoxyribose sugar molecules and phosphate molecules.
Sugar. The backbone of the DNA molecule is composed of ribose and phosphate, but the bases which make up the "rungs" of DNA are always connected to the sugar. The phosphate is used to bond the sugars together into long strings.

Yes. It is composed of a molecule of glycerol chemically combined with two fatty acid molecules and a phosphate group.
Sugar phosphate backbones do not include the nucleic acids of the DNA. They are composed of a sugar and a phosphate group bonded to each other.
A phospholipid molecule is composed of an organic phosphate group, a triglyceride, and two fatty acid chains. Within the phospohlipid there is a phosphodiester linkage and two ester linkages.
A phosphate group is a part of a molecule (i.e. group) with the formula PO4. Depending on the molecule it is part of it can be either inorganic phosphate or organic phosphate. Phosphate groups are essential to many biochemical processes (e.g. ATP for energy storage, phosphorylation of DNA to inhibit/enable gene expression).

Nucleic Acid
a five carbon sugar, nitrogen base and three phosphate. adenine ribose and three phosphate groups

Adenosine diphosphate. ADP. Two phosphate groups.
