ATPmolekyyliä
ATPmolekyyliä, also known as adenosine triphosphate, is a crucial molecule in all living organisms. It serves as the primary energy currency of the cell, facilitating a vast array of biological processes. The structure of ATP consists of three main components: adenine, a nitrogenous base; ribose, a five-carbon sugar; and three phosphate groups. The energy stored within ATP is primarily located in the high-energy phosphate bonds, particularly the bond between the second and third phosphate groups.
When a cell requires energy, typically for processes such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, or
The ADP molecule can then be re-energized by cellular respiration or photosynthesis, where energy from food
