Answer:
Explanation:
ATP, adenosine triphosphate, is a molecule high in chemical energy. It is made up of a ribose ring, the nitrogenous base adenine, and 3 phosphate groups in a phosphoester linkage at carbon 5
ATP is broken down, losing a phosphate group, and energy is released from breaking the phosphate bond. The other two phosphates in ADP are lined by stable p hosphoanhydride bonds.
[tex]ATP+H_{2}O[/tex] → [tex]ADP+Pi+free \hspace{0.1cm} energy[/tex]
In the body, ATP molecules are used to provide energy for detoxification in forms of active transport; fueling biosynthesis- the modification of different compounds to form macromolecules; and muscle contraction, providing energy to myosin, and braking myosin actin cross-linkages to free myosin for other contractions.
