ATP consists of an adenosine base (blue), a ribose sugar (pink) and a phosphate chain. The high-energy phosphate bond in this phosphate chain is the key to ATP's energy storage potential.

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy-carrying molecule used in cells because it can release energy very quickly. Energy is released from ATP when the end phosphate is removed. Once ATP has ...

the reverse reaction takes place and the phosphate group is reattached to the molecule using energy obtained from food or sunlight. Thus the ATP molecule acts as a chemical 'battery', storing energy ...

The authors point out that, in low concentrations of ATP, when the myosin heads both remain bound to the actin filament, the molecule often ... swinging cross-bridge model of muscle contraction ...

Cell survival depends on the energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—it's like the fuel that keeps our brain running. Intracellular ATP levels are thought to remain constant, given its ...

Similarly, in the cell model of the person with mutations ... the building blocks of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, an energy molecule made by the mitochondria that fuels cell metabolism.
