NGSS.HS-ESS3-1

An adenine-containing nucleoside triphosphate that releases free energy when its phosphate bonds are hydrolyzed. This energy is used to drive endergonic reactions in the cell.

• Adenosine cophosphate (ACT)
• Adenosine monophosphate (AMP)
• Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
• Adenosine diphosphate (ADP)

Synthetic, energy-requiring reactions whereby small molecules are built up into larger ones.
