Explanation:
ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate. It is the compound by which energy is stored and transferred in a cell.
It is made up of a nitrogenous base, the sugar and three phosphate groups.
- The compound is produce as a product of photosynthesis and use to store energy.
Energy is produced from this compound in the following steps,
- a cell in need of energy spends the ATP currency
- from the three phosphorous groups attached to the tail, one is split of.
- ATP then becomes ADP, Adenosine Di- phosphate
- it is the energy holding the phosphate group that is released and is used by the body.
