Structure of ATP?

-Adenosine Triphosphate

-made from 1 adenosine and 3 phosphates

-formation: ADP+ Pi (+energy used)= ATP

-condensation reaction using ATP synthase

-carries energy in its bonds

-break down : ATP=ADP+Pi(+energy released)

-hydrolysis reaction using ATP hydrolase

-releases energy from its bonds
