Adinosine TriPhosphate (ATP) is the energy transport and releasing molecule for all cells.

ATP is produced in the Mitocondria by adding another Phosphate group to Adinosine DiPhosphate (ADP) to produce ATP. Then ATP travels to where energy is required, where the third Phosphate group is broken off the ATP molecule energy is released in a form that can be utilized by the cell to perform many cellular functions. The resulting ADP molecule is then returned to the Mitocondria where it is again recharged into ATP.
