Question
Chapter 6, Problem 3MC
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) acts as an energy-giving organic chemical molecule. ATP is composed of one base called adenine, one sugar molecule called ribose, and three phosphates bounded with ribose via two phosphoanhydride bonds. They break down into adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and one free phosphate to produce energy.
