Expert Solution
Step 1

ATP or adenosine triphosphate is commonly called the energy currency of the cell. Molecules of ATP supplies the energy requirement of the cell.

When one phosphate group from ATP is removed by breaking a phosphoanhydride bond in a process called hydrolysis, energy is released, and a molecule of ADP is formed. Likewise, energy is also released when phosphate is removed from ADP to form adenosine monophosphate (AMP).
