A molecule made up of adenine, ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups, which stores and releases energy by breaking phosphate bonds for cellular activities, is called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

- ATP formation is called phosphorylation and occurs in three ways: photophosphorylation, substrate-level phosphorylation, and oxidative phosphorylation.
- Photophosphorylation occurs during photosynthesis, while the other two occur during respiration.
- Substrate-level phosphorylation involves direct transfer of a phosphate group to ADP and occurs in the cytoplasm and mitochondrial matrix.
- Oxidative phosphorylation uses energy from oxidation of NADH and FADH₂ and occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
- ATP is hydrolysed to release energy whenever the cell needs it for metabolic activities.
