Concept Introduction:
The full form of ATP is adenosine triphosphate which contains three phosphate groups. The energy in the human beings is stored as ATP. It provides energy to human beings to perform various physical activities. ATP is made in mitrochondria (called power house) by oxidative phosphyrlation.
The energy released by the hydrolysis of one phosphate group from ATP or ADP is
