Question

What is the full form of ATP?

Answer 1

ATP:

1. ATP is known as an energy coin for intracellular energy transfer.
2. It also serves as a coenzyme and serves as a precursor to DNA and RNA.

The full form of ATP:

1. The full form of ATP is Adenosine triphosphate.
2. It is a triphosphoric acid-adenosine ester.
3. ATP is a nucleoside triphosphate.
4. It is made up of three parts: a nitrogenous base, ribose sugar, and triphosphate.
5. The nitrogenous base Adenine is attached to the first carbon of ribose sugar.
6. The three phosphate groups are attached in a chain to the 5th carbon of the pentose sugar.
7. The actual source of energy that the cell uses is the triphosphate tail of ATP. The phosphate bonds between them hold the available energy, which is released when they are broken or divided into molecules.
8. ATP molecule provides energy for both the exergonic and endergonic processes.
