It consists of an adenosine molecule and three inorganic phosphates. After a simple reaction breaking down ATP to ADP, the energy released from the breaking of a molecular bond is the energy we use to keep ourselves alive.
ATP is produced by almost all living things in organelles called mitochondria found in cells. It is not energy itself, but rather temporarily stores energy in its' bonds.When the third phosphate bond is broken, energy is released.This creates ADP which has one less phosphate attached to the group. ATP is the acronym for adenosine triphosphate.t is not energy itself, but rather temporarily stores energy in its' bonds. When the third phosphate bond is broken, energy is released. This creates ADP which has one less phosphate attached to the group.
