ATP is adenosine triphosphate, C10H16N5O13P3, a high energy complex providing the necessary power to push metabolistic reactions in the body. Its parts are an adenosine, a ribose sugar, and three phosphates.
If one of those phosphate groups gets its bond weakened by the enzyme ATPase and the third phosphate group detaches from the other two groups, then you are left with an ADP: adenosine diphosphate because of the two groups now left of the Phosphates. When the third phospate group finally departs from the previous ATP molecule, energy is released from the break and therefore gives energy to whatever needs it. Through cellular respiration, the last phospate can be added back on and therefore be an ATP molecule again to store energy once more until the bond is broken again and energy is released once more.
ATP is used during photosynthesis; it is created during the light reactions, and is then converted into organic compounds such as glucose.

What is released when the chemical bond is broken between the second and third phrosphrates of an ATP molecule?
ATP
What type of molecule is ATP synthetase?
It is an enzyme(protein).
What is an ATP molecule that loses a phosphate called?
adp
What molecule do humans get your energy from?
ATP- Adenosine Triphosphate
What atoms have to be removed to make the ATP molecule?
No atom is removed but phosphate is added in ADP to form ATP.
What are the three parts of an ATP molecule and how is energy released from it?
ATP consists of the nucleotide Adenosine, and three phosphates linked together. The dephosphorylation of ATP to ADP and P is Exothermic since it is an example of catabolism and thus energy is released.
What are three parts of an ATP molecules?
The three parts of an ATP, adenosine triphosphate, molecule are:A sugar (ribose)3 phosphates (the energy is stored in the unstable covalent phosphate bonds)Adenine (a double ring of carbon and nitrogen)
What are the three parts of ATP?
The three parts of an ATP, adenosine triphosphate, molecule are:A sugar (ribose)3 phosphates (the energy is stored in the unstable covalent phosphate bonds)Adenine (a double ring of carbon and nitrogen)
A molecule of ATP contains?
A molecule of ATP contains the nitrogen base adenine, the sugar ribose, and three phosphate molecules.
The potential energy in an ATP molecule is derived mainly from its three phosphate groups?
The potential energy in an ATP molecule is derived from its three phosphate groups that are linked by phosphate bonds. The energy of ATP is locked within these bonds.
True or false ATP is a molecule composed of adenosine and three phenol groups?
That is true; the potential energy in an ATP molecule is derived mainly from its three phosphate groups.
When a phosphate group is removed from an ATP molecule what type of molecule is formed?
when a phosphate group is removed from ATP energy is released and the molecule ADP is formed.
How does ATP produce energy?
A molecule hat energy in form that can be used for molecule contractions
What molecule joins with ribose and three phosphate groups to form ATP?
adenine
What three molecules or group of atoms combine to form an ATP molecule?
Hydrogen and enzyme
Describe how 1 molecule of glucose is able to produce ATP in liver cell via aerobic respiration?
none
What are the 3 major subunits of ATP?
A single ATP molecule is made up of three parts, adenine, ribose, and phosphates. Adenine and ribose combine to form adenosine, which is then attached to three phosphates to form the high energy ATP molecule. ATP, which stands for adenosine triphosphate, is a single molecule, which includes three phosphate groups. In biological processes, ATP can lose a phosphate group to become ADP, adenosine diphosphate, and that is a process which releases energy in a way that can be used to drive other biological processes such as muscle contraction.
