It has a high energy phosphate bonds, due to the large amount of electrorepulsive force between the highly negative force between the highly negatively charged phosphate groups. Energy is usually liberated from the ATP molecule to do work in the cell by a reaction that removes one of the phosphate-oxygen groups, leaving adenosine diphosphate (ADP). When this happens, the ATP is said to be spent.

Cohesion. Cohesion is the property of water that attracts other water molecules so they can stick together. Water is sticky because it has positive and negative charge in the oxygen and hydrogen ends that attracts one water molecule to another. Adhesion is also a property of water that attracts it from other substances, making it easy for water to travel upwards through transpiration.
