Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is commonly referred to as the energy transfer molecule because it stores and releases energy for cellular processes. It is made up of adenine, ribose, and three phosphate groups, and when one of the phosphate groups is removed, energy is released for cellular work.
