Describe the ATP molecule and its function within a cell.
atp is the currency of our cells and it is what drives our cells.
Atp or adenosine triphosphate is pure energy and it cannot be stored.
It becomes adp or adenosine diphosphate when used.
Cells get energy from ATP by removing a phosphate group and that releases the energy. ATP has 3 phosphate groups and adp only has 2 because 1 group is taken away.
To get ATP again the cell just adds 1 phosphate group.
each bond between phosphate stores energy...when dis bond is broken energy is released...
Someone already answered this with a good source of information, why did you bump this?
ATP requires energy from the outside source. Starch, glucose, and fat molecules are used to reform ATP a molecules.
ATP is converted to ADP, when energy is released by breaking a phosphate group.
