Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ATP is an energy transfer molecule, providing the necessary energy for cellular processes such as muscle contraction, protein synthesis, and active transport. It is made up of adenosine, a nitrogenous base, and three phosphate groups, which store energy in their chemical bonds. When one phosphate group is removed from ATP, energy is released for use by the cell.
