Understand the structure of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which consists of an adenosine molecule bonded to three phosphate groups.
Recognize that ATP is a high-energy molecule used by cells to store and transfer energy.
Learn that the release of energy from ATP occurs through a process called hydrolysis, where ATP is converted into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and an inorganic phosphate (Pi).
During hydrolysis, the bond between the second and third phosphate groups is broken, releasing energy that can be used for cellular processes.
The chemical reaction for ATP hydrolysis can be represented as:
