Adenosine Diphosphate + Phosphate --> Adenosine Triphosphate

Adenosine-P-P + P --> Adenosine-P-P-P

The addition of a phosphate molecule to the end of the chain is an endothermic reaction, so energy is taken in for the bond to form. Therefore, when the bond is broken energy is given off (exothermic). This energy can be used in a variety of ways by an organism, ie for Active Transport pumps to use energy and pump minerals against a concentration gradient, or for muscle contraction.
