The A in Atp is for Adenosine that IS one of the nucleotide bases: in special instances Gtp and Utp are also used.
The other moiety involved is the phosphate moiety PO4, which is a Phosphate atom surrounded by a largely electro-negative electron cloud. It is also known as 'inorganic Phosphate' - or Pi.
A + Pi = Adenosine mono phosphate,
A + PiPi = Adenosine di phosphate,
A + PiPiPi = Adenosine tri phosphate.
Getting back to that cloud formed by the near proximity of all those [mostly] negatively charged Oxygen atoms, recall that like charges repel each other. Bring a Pi to an Amp and, because of those repulsions, it takes considerable energy to make the chemical bond and form Adp {A + PiPi}. To bring in ANOTHER Pi to bond and form Atp {A + PiPiPi} takes an even more considerable amount of energy - stored in the chemical bonds - to complete this reaction.
These reactions are all enzymatically controlled, as they are enzymatically reversible: Atp = Adp + Pi + chemical energy. Also, Adp = Amp + Pi +energy (En); also Atp = Amp + PiPi + En.
Atp is also found as Amp and Adp; Adenosine mono phosphate and Adenosine di phosphate.
What else can I help you with?
Is active transport ATP dependent?
Active transportation need energy.That energy is given by ATP.
How do ATP store and release energy?
ATP or adenosine triphosphate stores and releases energy by adding or breaking off one of the phosphate molecules on its tail. When a phosphate molecule breaks off of ATP it releases energy. Likewise, if an ADP (a ATP with one lose phosphate group than ATP) gains a phosphate group, energy is stored.
Molecules formed from the breaking off of a phosphate group ATP.?
When a phosphate group breaks off from ATP, it releases energy that is used in cellular processes. The resulting molecule is ADP (adenosine diphosphate). ATP is converted to ADP when energy is needed in the cell, and can be converted back to ATP when energy is stored.
What is end product of Krebs cycle?
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) molecules are given off as waste gas in the Krebs cycle.
What happens when phosphates are broken off of ATP?
When a phosphate group is removed from ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a nucleotide known as ADP (adenosine diphosphate) is formed.
When ATP breaks into ADP is energy given off?
yes

Is ATP given off?

What is given off when ATP converts to ADP?
One phosphate group.
Is energy given or taken off with electrons?
It is given off
Energy is released from an ATP molecule when which mlecule pops off?
H2o
What is formed when one phosphate is given up by ATP in order to release energy?
ADP
What is end product of Krebs cycle?
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) molecules are given off as waste gas in the Krebs cycle.
What happens when phosphates are broken off of ATP?
When a phosphate group is removed from ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a nucleotide known as ADP (adenosine diphosphate) is formed.
What does not require break down from ATP?
The use of the ATP system uses the P to bond with other P's to allow the chemical reaction where the energy is given off to produce the muscle contraction. The P is separated from the AT and joins with the PC to form PPC. The ATP system does not require oxygen as it's reactant.
