Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) consists of adenine, ribose, and a chain of three phosphate groups.

Adenosine is formed when the purine base adenine combines with the pentose sugar ribose. The base-sugar link is through the 1' carbon of the sugar.

Adenosine can attach a phosphate to its 5' carbon, and this forms adenosine monophosphate (AMP), which is one of the nucleotides in RNA.

A second phosphate attaching to the first forms adenosine diphosphate (ADP), and a third attached to the second gives ATP
