The many oxygens on this molecule get
delivered to the blood.
A phosphate group (P= phosphate) from the
molecule may detached to release energy
for cells to use.
The hydrogen molecules will be used by
cells to create more H20 (water).
The nitrogen in this molecule is used to
create more DNA molecules.

Expert Solution
Step 1
As ATP is used for energy, a phosphate group or two are detached, and either ADP or AMP is produced. Energy derived from glucose catabolism is used to convert ADP into ATP. When ATP is used in a reaction, the third phosphate is temporarily attached to a substrate in a process called phosphorylation.
