ATP works by losing the endmost phosphate group when instructed to do so by an enzyme. This reaction releases a lot of energy, which the organism can then use to build proteins, contact muscles, etc. The reaction product is adenosine diphosphate (ADP), and the phosphate group either ends up as orthophosphate (HPO4) or attached to another molecule (e.g. an alcohol). Even more energy can be extracted by removing a second phosphate group to produce adenosine monophosphate (AMP).
When the organism is resting and energy is not immediately needed, the reverse reaction takes place and the phosphate group is reattached to the molecule using energy obtained from food or sunlight. Thus the ATP molecule acts as a chemical 'battery', storing energy when it is not needed, but able to release it instantly when the organism requires it.

∙ 11y agoATP (Adenine triose phosphate) includes in it's structure three phosphate groups. By releasing one of these to form ADP (adenine di-phosphate) it releases energy that is used up in ATP dependent reactions.

How is the energy in ATP carried and released?
There are many ways that the energy can be release in ATP. Break down in the cell can release this energy.
What is ATP and activity within the cells?
Atp store energy in its bonds. Thenit release energy when neede,
The formula that shows the release of energy by a molecule of ATP?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -----6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
What type of energy does ATP release?
ATP releases energy when the bond between the second and third phosphate groups is broken.
How do ATP store and release energy?
ATP or adenosine triphosphate stores and releases energy by adding or breaking off one of the phosphate molecules on its tail. When a phosphate molecule breaks off of ATP it releases energy. Likewise, if an ADP (a ATP with one lose phosphate group than ATP) gains a phosphate group, energy is stored.

Does glycolisis release energy?
Yes it release energy of glucose.This energy is stored in ATP.

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -----6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
Does mitochondria release or store energy?
It release energy. It releases using Glucose (C6H12O6) and Oxygen (O2).Mitochondria release energy in glucose. Then it stores this energy in ATP
Can the mitochondria store and transfer energy?
Mitochondria release energy of glucose. This energy is stored in ATP
How do proteins in your cells access the energy stores in ATP?
Proteins in your cells access the energy stored in ATP by breaking down glucose. ATP will release energy any time the cells need to carry out functions that require energy.
What is ATP when is energy released from it?
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is converted to ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) when the 3rd phosphate bond is broken to release energy.
Which cell organelle is responsible for release of energy as ATP?
Mitochondria
What energy is release when the chemical bonds of glucose are broken?
ATP
What type of energy does ATP release?
ATP releases energy when the bond between the second and third phosphate groups is broken.
How does ATP power cellular work?
When energy is needed, ATP molecules break down and release the third phosphate group, which releases energy the cell can use to do work. ATP --> ADP + P + Energy
