ATP The Energy Molecule

ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is essential for cellular energy, made from ribose, adenine, and phosphoric acid. Ribose, a five-carbon sugar, has the molecular formula C5H10O5. Adenine, a nitrogenous base, has the formula C5H5N5. Phosphoric acid, vital for ATP structure, is represented as H3PO4. ATP releases energy when its terminal phosphate bond is broken, powering cellular processes. Understanding its components is crucial for grasping bioenergetics and the biochemical pathways that support life.
