ATP contains three phosphate groups. The third phosphate group (the outermost one) is called the alpha phosphate. The breaking of this phosphate bond is accompanied by the release of a large amount of energy which can be used to drive key steps in metabolic reactions.
With the removal of alpha phosphate, the remainder molecule is ADP

The first step in cellular respiration that splits a molecule of glucose to release energy is called?
The first step in cellular respiration that splits a molecule of glucose to release energy is glycolysis. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and converts one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP in the process.
How much ATP energy is invested in glycolysis?
2 ATP molecules are invested during glycolysis per each glucose molecule that is being metabolized. The first ATP molecule intervenes in the very first step, that is: from glucose to glucose 6-phosphate, catalyzed by a hexokinase, releasing an ADP molecule. The second ATP molecule is used in the third step: from fructose 6 phosphate to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, catalyzed by a phosphofructokinase, and releasing also an ADP molecule.
What are the 3 types of ATP in a molecule?
There is only one type of ATP and it is a molecule all of its own.
What molecule carries out the major amount of energy for the cell?
ATP or adenosine triphosphate, is involved in energy transfer.
What is the principle of energy currency in molecule of living systems?
Atp
What remains after the ATP molecule splits to release energy?
Go to the blood stream to drve the cells

Explain the importance of phosphorylation in biochemical reactions?
Phosphorylation creates ATP (adenicine triphosphate) from ADP (adenicine diphosphate). ATP is the molecule needed to sustain our cells, and therefore our bodily functions.
What are the 3 types of ATP in a molecule?
There is only one type of ATP and it is a molecule all of its own.
Is ATP an active or passive molecule in cellular processes?
ATP is an active molecule in cellular processes.
What molecule actually does the worm of life?
ATP
How many ATP (net) are made in the glycolysis part of cellular respiration?
Glycolysis is a 10 step enzymatically catalyzed reaction which splits up a glucose molecule into two molecules of pyruvate. The process of glycolysis can occur in absence of oxygen. A net yield of 2 ATP is obtained at the end of gylcolysis for every molecule of glucose oxidized.
What molecule carries out the major amount of energy for the cell?
ATP or adenosine triphosphate, is involved in energy transfer.
How many ATP are produced by the fermentation of one molecule of glucose?
2 ATP are produced in anaerobic respiration(fermentation)
Why ATP is consider currency?
ATP (the molecule) is not considered to be a currency.
What molecule is used by the enzymes ATP synthase to form ATP.?
ADP
