Nearly always, the phosphate is directly transferred to another molecule. Then, a chemical reaction that consumes energy is carried out in such a way that it is coupled to the release of the phosphate, so that the overall reaction releases energy and can proceed spontaneously (with catalytic help from enzymes, of course).
For example, assembling a polymer often begins by phosphorylating the monomers, using ATP. Then, an enzyme positions everything so that a hydroxyl on one monomer can attack the other monomer and displace the phosphate. The phosphate is such a great leaving group that the attack becomes very favorable.

Cells transfer energy from organic compounds to what in the aerobic respiration?
Cells transfer energy from organic compounds to ATP (adenosine triphosphate) in the process of aerobic respiration. ATP is the main energy currency of the cell and is used to power various cellular functions and processes.
What is the definition of ATP energy?
ATP is adenosine triphosphate, used in a cell to transfer energy and perform work.
What do ATP cells transfer?
ATP isn't a type of cell, it's a resource known as energy.
Do Lysosomes transfer energy from organic compounds to ATP?
Yes!
Organelles that transfer energy to organic compounds to ATP are what?
Mitochondria
What is the energy transfer molecule used in living organisms?
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy transfer molecule used in living organisms. It stores and releases energy for cellular processes such as metabolism and muscle contractions.
Can the mitochondria store and transfer energy?
Mitochondria release energy of glucose. This energy is stored in ATP
What molecule carries out the major amount of energy for the cell?
ATP or adenosine triphosphate, is involved in energy transfer.
What are the organelles that transfer energy from organic compounds to ATP?
In both plant and animal cells, mitochonria are responsible for energy transfer. They are the sites of the a metabolic process in which ATP is generated from extracting energy from sugars, fats, and other fuels.In plant cells only, chloroplasts are responsible for energy transfer; they are the sites of photosynthesis.
Plants are the only organisms that use ATP for the transfer and storage of energy?
Plants are not the only organisms that use ATP for energy transfer and storage. ATP is a universal energy currency used by all living organisms, including animals, fungi, and bacteria. ATP is generated through cellular respiration and is essential for many cellular processes that require energy.
Why is ATP cell energy currency?
ATP is the most important and mostly used compound in the cell for energy transfer reactions hence it is called energy currency of cell.
What is The transfer of energy that occurs when an ATP bond is broken?
i belive its endothermic energy but i could be wrong
