Adenosine Triphosphate , commonly known as ATP, is a molecule that serves as the primary energy currency in living organisms. It plays a crucial role in energy transfer within cells and is considered the “molecular unit of currency” for cellular energy. ATP is found in all forms of life and is essential for various biological processes. The structure of ATP consists of three main components: 1. Adenosine: This is a nitrogenous base composed of adenine, a purine base, and ribose, a five-carbon sugar. 2. Triphosphate: Attached to the ribose sugar are three phosphate groups, hence the name “tri-” phosphate. These phosphate groups are linked together by high-energy bonds. The high-energy bonds between the phosphate groups are what make ATP an excellent energy carrier. When one of these phosphate bonds is broken through hydrolysis, a considerable amount of energy is released, providing energy for cellular processes. The ATP-ADP cycle is the central mechanism for ...
