What does ATP energy mean?

Answer 1

Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) is a multifunctional nucleotide that is most important as a "molecular currency" of intracellular energy transfer. In this role, ATP transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism. It is produced as an energy source during the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration and consumed by many enzymes and a multitude of cellular processes including biosynthetic reactions, motility and cell division. In signal transduction pathways, ATP is used as a substrate by kinases that phosphorylate proteins and lipids, as well as by adenylate cyclase, which uses ATP to produce the second messenger molecule cyclic AMP. The structure of this molecule consists of a purine base (adenine) attached to the 1' carbon atom of a pentose sugar (ribose). Three phosphate groups are attached at the 5' carbon atom of the pentose sugar. ATP is also incorporated into nucleic acids by polymerases in the processes of DNA replication and transcription. When ATP is used in DNA synthesis, the ribose sugar is first converted to deoxyribose by ribonucleotide reductase. ATP was discovered in 1929 by Karl Lohmann,[1] and was proposed to be the main energy-transfer molecule in the cell by Fritz Albert Lipmann in 1941.[2]

Answer 2

Adenosine tri phosphate. It is a molecule with high energy phosphate bonds that is used in many metabolic reactions. It is a means of energy. By breaking phosphate bonds to form ADP or creating creating a phosphate bond to make ADP turn into ATP, reactions can progress as needed.

Answer 3

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a molecule that serves as the primary energy carrier in cells. It releases energy when its phosphate bonds are broken during cellular processes, providing the necessary energy for various biological reactions and processes to occur.

Answer 4

In terms of cells and energy, ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate.

Answer 5

Adenosine TriPhosphate (Adenosine-5'-triphosphate(ATP) is a multifunctional nucleotide used in cells as a coenzyme.)

Answer 6

The compound ATP is adenosine triphosphate, which is produced by the mitochondria, and used as a source of energy to drive the various biochemical processes of the body.
