Answer:

ATP is a nucleotide consisting of an adenine base attached to a ribose sugar, which is attached to three phosphate groups. ... When one phosphate group is removed by breaking a phosphoanhydride bond in a process called hydrolysis, energy is released, and ATP is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
