ATP is a molecule with an unstable structure, meaning that it wants to change. When it does, turning into ADP, it releases energy, which is then used by the rest of the cell.
An ATP molecule is composed of three main components: a ribose sugar molecule, an adenine base, and three phosphate groups. These phosphate groups store and release energy as needed for cellular processes.
That is true; the potential energy in an ATP molecule is derived mainly from its three phosphate groups.
The phosphate group in a DNA molecule is composed of a phosphorus atom bonded to four oxygen atoms.
Adenosine is composed of an acid and a sugar.
Yes. It is composed of a molecule of glycerol chemically combined with two fatty acid molecules and a phosphate group.

A phospholipid molecule is composed of an organic phosphate group, a triglyceride, and two fatty acid chains. Within the phospohlipid there is a phosphodiester linkage and two ester linkages.
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a nucleotide, which is an organic molecule composed of a nucleoside (adenine and ribose sugar) and three phosphate groups. It is known as the energy currency of the cell due to its role in providing energy for cellular processes.
The backbone of the DNA molecule is composed of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate units. These sugar-phosphate units are connected by phosphodiester bonds to form the backbone of the DNA strand.
A phosphate group is a part of a molecule (i.e. group) with the formula PO4. Depending on the molecule it is part of it can be either inorganic phosphate or organic phosphate. Phosphate groups are essential to many biochemical processes (e.g. ATP for energy storage, phosphorylation of DNA to inhibit/enable gene expression).
A DNA molecule consists of two strands that are made up of sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate molecules. The sides of the DNA molecule are formed by alternating sugar and phosphate molecules linked together to create a backbone for the molecule.
Quite a few fit that description (including water, carbon dioxide, borane etc.)
Phosphate is composed of a phosphate group, which is a molecule containing one phosphorus atom bonded to four oxygen atoms. Phosphate is an essential component of DNA, RNA, ATP (adenosine triphosphate), and other molecules crucial for cell function and energy transfer in living organisms.
