Yes, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) can breakdown to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) through a process called hydrolysis. This releases energy that can be used by cells for various biological processes.
It is an exothermic breakdown because it produces energy.
Chemical energy that is contained in and transported by the molecule called Adenosine Tri Phosphate.
A phosphate group is transferred to another molecule often causing a conformational change in that molecule which gets the cells work done. all that is right but to answer your question you also need to know Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a main source of potential energy. It is composed of adenine (nitrogenous base), ribose (five-carbon sugar), and three phosphates. If one phosphate bonds with adenosine (adenine and ribose), it forms adenosine monophosphate (AMP). If two of the phosphates combine with adenosine, it will make adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Of course, three phosphates are then needed for ATP. ATP molecules deliver energy wherever it is needed in a cell. What makes ATP the perfect candidate for energy release is its last phosphate, which can break and release fairly easily. When chemical bonds are broken, energy is released for the cells to use. With one phosphate removed, the ATP is then converted to ADP, a process called dephosphorylation. However, the ADP can be converted back to ATP if it gains a phosphate again. This process is called phosphorylation. I know that's a lot. I hope this helped ^^

ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi + Energy ATP = Adenosine Triphosphate ADP = Adenosine Diphosphate
ADP
produces adenosine triphosphate, known as ATP. Hydrolysis causes ATP to release energy, as it loses a phosphate group (becomes adenosine diphosphate, ADP)

There are three phosphate groups in an ATP molecule. Go on to Google images and type in ATP or adenosine triphosphate. Look for a picture that contains chemical symbols and lines. Now, commonly on the right hand side you will see the bulk of the picture. On the left should be a line with P's and O's in the middle of it. The P's of course are the phosphates. The P closest to the bulk is called the alpha phosphate. then working out you have the beta phosphate and then the gamma phosphate. The symbols for these phosphates are the Greek letters for Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.

Needs- glucose and oxygen. Makes- water and carbon dioxide. During cellular respiration, glucose is combined with oxygen and is transformed in your mitochondria into the high-energy molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is made of a base, a sugar and three phosphate groups. The phosphate groups are held together by a high-energy bond. When the bond is broken, a high level of energy is released and is used by the cells. Once the bond is broken ATP becomes ADP (adenosine diphosphate) which has only two phosphate groups and is able to pick up another phosphate. During cellular respiration, glucose is "burned" in the presence of oxygen, making water, carbon dioxide and lots(34) of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are by-products of cellular respirations.
The body gets heat, or thermal, energy indirectly from the chemical energy stored in sugars or fats. When the sugar or fat is "burned," the chemical energy in the sugar or fat is being used to add a phosphate to a molecule called adenosine diphosphate, turning it into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP has much more energy stored in it than adenosine diphosphate. Whenever a cell needs energy, such as to create warmth, it breaks the last phosphate off of some ATP molecules, which releases the stored chemical energy in the ATP, and warms up the cell. Energy from ATP is also used for all of the body's other functions that require energy, such as moving molecules or cells.
Yes, ATP contain adenine. Actually ATP stand for " Adenosine tri phosphate". Yes, ATP contain adenine. Actually ATP stand for " Adenosine tri phosphate".
