Best Answer

ATP is adenosine triphosphate; it consists of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and nitrogen. It's formula is: C10H16N5O13P3

There are 3 phosphate groups in it (one phosphorus atom with 4 oxygens), connected to an adenosine group, C10H13N5O4, (itself made up of an adenine nucleobase(C5H5N5) made up of 5 nitrogens, 5 hydrogens, and 5 carbons, connected to a ribose sugar molecule, C5H10O5)

What type of chemical is ATP?

ATP is adenosine triphosphate, which is a nucleotide. Nucleotide's consist of a 5-carbon sugar, a nitrogenous base, and one or more phosphate groups. In ATP's case, there are 3 phosphate's attached. A little bit extra: ATP works like like a rechargeable battery. When one phosphate comes off, it releases energy and is now referred to as ADP. It can then regain a phosphate and "recharge" to become ATP again.
