ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is the primary energy carrier in cells, providing energy for various biochemical processes. It consists of adenine, ribose, and three phosphate groups, with the high-energy bonds between the phosphate groups being key to its energy-releasing capabilities. When ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate, energy is released, which can be utilized for cellular activities such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, and biosynthesis.
