ATP( Adenosine Triphosphate) THREE PHOSPHATE GROUPS ADENINE RIBOSE
HOW IS ENERGY STORED IN ATP? When a cell has excess energy, it adds a phosphate group to ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) to make ATP. When a cell needs energy, it breaks the bond that between the second and third phosphate groups of ATP, and energy is released. ADP + Phosphate ATP Partially Charged Battery Fully Charged Battery
NADPH - Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate NADP is converted to NADPH when a hydrogen is added to it. Like ATP, NADPH also stores energy.
