Answer» Explanation: Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a nucleotide used in cells as a coenzyme. It is often called the "molecular unit of currency": ATP transports chemical energy WITHIN cells for metabolism. Every cell uses ATP for energy. It consists of a base (adenine) and THREE phosphate GROUPS. ONE molecule of ATP contains three phosphate groups, and it is produced by ATP synthase from inorganic phosphate and adenosine diphosphate (ADP, the DI meaning two phosphate groups) or adenosine monophosphate (AMP). |
