ATP(Adenosine Triphosphate) is a small molecule used in cells as a coenzyme. It is often referred to as the "molecular unit of currency" of intracellular energy transfer.

Three components of an ATP molecule:
-At the centre is a sugar molecule,ribose( the same sugar that forms the basis of RNA). Attached to one side of this base(a group consisting of linked rings of carbon and nitrogen atoms) in this case the base is adenine. The other side of the sugar is attached to a string of three phosphate groups.
