ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate. It is a nucleotide that serves as the primary energy carrier in all living organisms. ATP stores and provides energy for many cellular processes, including metabolism, muscle contraction, and nerve impulse transmission. The molecule consists of an adenosine molecule bonded to three phosphate groups. The energy released when ATP is hydrolyzed (when one of the phosphate groups is removed) is what powers cellular activities.
