Questions

What is ATP and what is its function in the cells?

ATP is Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)and, is the source of energy for use and storage at the
cellular level.
Explain, how the ATP structure represents an energy source for the cell?
The structure of ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate, consisting of a nitrogenous base
(adenine), a ribose sugar, and three serially bonded phosphate groups. ATP is commonly
referred to as the "energy currency" of the cell, as it provides readily releasable energy in
the bond between the second and third phosphate groups
