ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a molecule that cells use as a source of energy. The structure of ATP consists of an adenine ring, a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups. The adenine ring is attached to the ribose sugar, and the ribose sugar is attached to the phosphate groups. The three phosphate groups are arranged in a linear fashion, with the terminal phosphate group being the most reactive.
