Back

ATP consists of an adenosine molecule bonded to three phosphate groups.

Front

What happens to ADP when it gains a phosphate group?

Back

When ADP gains a phosphate group, it is converted back into ATP.

Front

Why is ATP considered a high-energy molecule?

Back

ATP is considered a high-energy molecule because of the high-energy bonds between its phosphate groups.
