ATP.
You can think of the energy as being stored in the bonds between phosphate groups. ATP has the structure
adenine - ribose - phosphate - phosphate -phosphate
AMP is similar, but has only one phosphate group attached to ribose. So in ATP there are two high-energy bonds linking the extra two phosphate groups to AMP.
When ATP is split (hydrolyzed) in the cell, one of two things happens:
# Energy is released, a free phosphate group detaches, and ADP remains. # Energy is released, a free pyrophosphate group (P-P) detaches, and AMP remains. In this case the pyrophosphate may itself be split, releasing another packet of energy.

What happens when chemical reactions break down glucose molecules into simpler substances and trap their stored energy in ATP?
It isn't. ATP is a considerably larger molecule than glucose. Although glucose is not literally broken down into ATP, the energy from the glucose molecule is transferred to ATP molecules. The energy in each ATP moelcule is much less than in a glucose molecule, and is a more convenient amount for the cell to use. Just think how a small denomination bill (£ or $) can be more convenient than a large one for small transactions.
What molecule stores chemical energy in its bonds?
Lots of molecules do that.Adenosine triphosphate ( ATP ) is the molecule I think you are seeking though many molecules store chemical energy in their bonds.Read more: Which_molecule_stores_chemical_energyAdenosine triphosphate ( ATP ) is the molecule I think you are seeking though many molecules store chemical energy in their bonds.Read more: Which_molecule_stores_chemical_energyAdenosine triphosphate ( ATP ) is the molecule I think you are seeking though many molecules store chemical energy in their bonds.Read more: Which_molecule_stores_chemical_energyAdenosine triphosphate ( ATP ) is the molecule I think you are seeking though many molecules store chemical energy in their bonds.Read more: Which_molecule_stores_chemical_energy
Why is ATP am example of chemical potential energy?
Because ATP stores chemical energy in its chemical bonds.
What is a simple equation for reforming ATP?
energy + ADP + P = ATP
What are the phosphates used for energy?
ATP and it is used for energy
What compounds contain the most energy amp adp atp pi?
The most energy is contained in ATP>ADP>AMP>Pi.
Why does ATP contains a large amount energy?
ATP is a molecule with three phosphate groups attached to a DNA base (A). the third and second phosphate are often removed in chemical reactions and the energy released from breaking these bonds is carefully channelled to catalyse other chemical reactions in the cell. ATP is also kept away from equilibrium of its chemical reaction, meaning in the cells there are many more molecules of ATP products made when phosphates are removed to give ADP or AMP: ATP <-----> ADP + Phosphate ATP <-----> AMP + Di phosphate (2 phosphates) By the cell maintaining ATP at high concentrations and ADP and AMP at low concentrations the energy released from breaking ATP down to ADP or AMP is much larger than if there were equal amounts of ATP, ADP and AMP. This is why ATP is said to contain energy, like pushing a Bowling ball to the top of a hill and then letting it roll down ATP releases energy when it is turned into its products.
Do cells have more ATP or ADP?
ATP has much more energy than ADP because it has one more phosphate bond which contains energy.
Why formation of ADP from ATP release more energy then formation of AMP from ADP?
20 ions are broken down
The energy of the Atp molecule is stored within which phosphate groups?
The energy of Atp molecules is not stored in any of its phosphate groups. Its energy is stored between and within the bonds of the phosphate groups of [Amp], Adp and Atp molecules.
What is stored in the bond between the 1st and 2nd phosphates in ATP?
False! Because the chemical bond between the adenosine and the phosphate group. When that bond is broken, energy is released, which powers cellular processes.
When ATP is broken down what are the three products?
Often ATP IS the end product which is then used by the cell. ATP can be dephosphorylated to form ADP, AMP, and cAMP.
Where is ATP stored?
ATP or Adenosine triphosphate is a nucleoside triphosphate. It stores energy in two high-energy phosphate bonds. As these bonds are hydrolyzed (ATP+H2O->ADP + Pi then ADP + H2O->AMP + Pi ) energy is released. This energy is harnessed by a living system to do work.
What happen ADP after ATP hydrolysis?
It is recycled by added a phosphate group to it to make ATP again.
What energy drink has more sugar amp energy or monster energy?
moster or amp
Does ADP store more energy than ATP?
no! atp stores more! :)
What brakes to release energy from ATP?
ATP, or adinosine triphosphate, is simply an adenine, a sugar (ribose), and three phosphates. ADP is has two phosphates, and AMP has one phosphate. Each phosphate added creates more energy in the molecule, making it unstable. It is the phosphates coming apart from the molecule that is releasing the energy.
