What is a nucleotide that stores energy for a cell and then release it when the energy is needed?

Remember that the four bases in DNA and RNA are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and uracil (U)? ATP, the main energy 'currency' in the cell, is made up of an adenine, a ribose sugar, and 3 phosphates. That's also the reason ATP is short for 'adenosine triphosphate' (adenosine is the name for the nucleoside made up of adenine + ribose).

∙ 14y agoThere are molecules like ATP which contains nucleotides, called nucleoside triphosphates. These molecules are nucleotides with two extra phosphates (total of three because of the phosphate group on a nucleotide) which give the molecule energy. Energy is needed during DNA replication when new nucleotides are forming on the old strand in the replication bubble.

What is the abbreviation for a special nucleotide which stores energy that a cell can use?
ATP
What is the function of adenosine triphospate in a human body cell?
A compound formed in the mitochondria of cells. It is created by adding an additional phosphate group to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) to form ATP. It is then used as the source of energy in the cell.
What is the name of the chemical that stores information inside cells?
It is not a chemical per se but a nucleotide: DNA. This is found in the nucleus and stores information. Save

What is the most energy rich small molecule in the cell?
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is considered the most energy-rich small molecule in the cell. ATP is a nucleotide that serves as the primary energy currency in cells. It stores and transports chemical energy within cells for various metabolic processes, such as muscle contraction, active transport, and synthesis of biomolecules.

ATP
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
Nucleotide subunit made from ribose sugar adenine and phosphates that stores and transports energy?
ATP which is the energy molecule used by all cells
What stores in the liver?
The liver stores glucose in the form of glycogen which is converted back to glucose again when needed for energy.
What organ stores energy in the body and releases nutrients into the blood when needed?
Fat cells.
Which reactions requires or stores energy?
Endothermic reactions require energy while exothermic reactions release energy.
Where does the energy needed to start a car come from?
Car's normally get their energy from gasoline, or a similar fuel - which stores the energy as chemical energy.
What part of the tree collects and stores energy from the sun needed to conduct photosynthesis?
the leaves :3
What happen when the body is supply with more energy that it burn?
It stores the excess energy in the form of fat cells, to be metabolized when needed at a later time.
