It is an enzyme(protein).
ATP is one of the four nucleotides that form the DNA molecule (besides GTP, TTP and CTP). On the other hand, the ATP molecule also is the major "energy molecule" that takes part in multiple reactions throughout cell metabolism.
ATP is adenine tri phosphate. So I'm guessing it has two adenine, one ribose, and three phosphate groups.
ATP is a kind of nucleic acid. Nucleic acids are the building blocks of living organisms. They work together to help cells replicate and build proteins.
There is only one type of ATP and it is a molecule all of its own.
That is true; the potential energy in an ATP molecule is derived mainly from its three phosphate groups.
carbohydrate
Normally, no. ATP is composed of adenosine, a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups. However, when ATP is used for DNA synthesis, the ribose sugar is converted to deoxyribose.
the ATP molecule is broken down

No, a compound is a molecule composed of MORE THAN ONE type of element.
It is an enzyme(protein).
The number of ATP molecules that are produced depends on the type of molecule broken down -- from my biology book

Normally, no. ATP is composed of adenosine, a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups. However, when ATP is used for DNA synthesis, the ribose sugar is converted to deoxyribose.
when a phosphate group is removed from ATP energy is released and the molecule ADP is formed.
During cellular respiration energy is stored in ATP molecules. When ATP is converted in to ADP, this energy is released for cells to use. The conversion of ADP in to ATP requires molecules of hexose sugar to break down.
