A
Nucleotide dedicate and consists of ribose,adenine , and three phosphate groups . Synthesized in the mitochondrion and chloroplasts of cells

Q
Imp points
A
▪️Energy is released when ATP is hydrolysed to form ADP and a phosphate molecule. This process is catalysts by ATP hydrolase
▪️ the inorganic phosphate can be used to phosphorylation other compounds as result making them more reactive
▪️condensation of ADP and inorganic phosphate catalysts by ATP synthase produces ATP during photosynthesis and respiration
