Explanation:

Adenosine 5'-triphosphate, or ATP, is the principal molecule for  transferring energy in cells. It also can be used to store energy for future reactions or be withdrawn to pay for reactions when energy is required by the cell.

ATP is a nucleotide consisting of an adenine base attached to a ribose sugar, which is attached to three phosphate groups, when one phosphate group is removed, energy is released.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
