Answer:

ATP or adenosine triphospahte releases energy by the cleavage of one or all of its phosphate to yield inorganic phosphates to drive cellular processes. Upon breakdown. ATP is converted to ADP, adenosine diphosphate or AMP, adenosine monophosphate by losing one or 2 of its phosphates.

Explanation:

ATP is the body's primary source of chemical and mechanical energy. ATP releases the stored chemical energy by a process called ATP hydrolysis when a proton (H+) attacks one of the phosphates of ATP.

ATP Hydrolysis:

ATP+H2O→ADP+Pi+free energy

  • ADP can readily combine with and inorganic phosphate (Pi) to regenerate ATP.

Autotroph: a creature that obtains its carbon from inorganic carbon dioxide

Chemotroph: an organism that obtains energy from chemical substances-Heterotroph: an organism that must receive its carbon in an organic form

Phototroph: an organism that produces energy from sunlight

The term "primary nutritional groups" refers to a category of creatures that are separated into subcategories based on the sources of carbon and energy that they require for survival, growth, and reproduction. Carbon can come from organic or inorganic sources, and energy can be derived from either light or chemical molecules. ATP, carbs, or proteins are used to store the liberated energy as potential energy. The energy is eventually put to use for activities essential to life, like movement, growth, and reproduction.
