Adenosine triphosphate. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a nucleotide (also called a nucleoside triphosphate) and 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. ATP transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism.
First, we need to know what ATP really is-chemically, it is known as adenosine triphosphate. ATP is a usable form of energy for cells-the energy is trapped in a chemical bond that can be released and used to drive other reactions that require energy (endergonic reactions).irst, we need to know what ATP really is-chemically, it is known as adenosine triphosphate.
