ATP

• ATP structure

  Adenosine Triphosphate Ribose sugar Nitrogenous Adenine base 3 Phosphate groups (Pi)
• ATP equations

  ATP -> ADP+Pi ADP(adenosine diphosphate) ADP+Pi -> ATP
• How does ATP store energy

  3 phosphate molecules store enegry each one is -ve charged so repel eachother covalent bonds holding together are unstable and easily broken unstable covalent bonds means low activation energy when they do break, the bonds release a considerable amount of energy in short burst
• ATP enzymes

  ATP hydrolase breaks down atp to adp+pi ATP synthase condensation reaction to reform atp
