    ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the basic energy source of all cells, consisting of adenine, ribose, and three phosphate groups. Energy from glucose molecules is transferred to the phosphate bonds in ATP, storing energy. ATP releases its stored energy by breaking the bond between the second and third phosphate groups, creating ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and powering cellular processes. ADP is like a partially drained battery.

    F Adenosine TRIphosphate

    (ATP) - a
    special type of nucleic acid that is the basic
    energy source of all cells
    -ATP is like a fully charged battery that is
    ready to power the cell

    Adenine

    Ribose

    3
    Phosphate
    Groups

    ATP consists of:


    1. Adenine
    2. Ribose (a sugar)
    3. Three Phosphate Groups

    The energy in the bonds of glucose molecules


    transfers to the phosphate bonds in the ATP.

    How does ATP release its


    stored energy?

    How does ATP release its stored


    energy?

    Energy is released by breaking the bond between the


    2nd and 3rd phosphate groups.

    This creates Adenosine DIphosphate (ADP)

    Adenosine Diphosphate is similar to a battery


    that has been half used
