Not to be confused with phosphate soda or phosphonate. A phosphate (PO3â. 4) is an inorganic chemical and a salt of phosphoric acid. In organic chemistry, a phosphate, or organophosphate, is an ester of phosphoric acid. Of the various phosphoric acids and phosphates, organic phosphates are important in biochemistry and biogeochemistry (ecology), and inorganic phosphates are mined to obtain phosphorus for use in agriculture and industry.
ATP is a molecule with a lot of chemical energy. ATP stands for Adenosine Tri Phosphate, and that third phosphate is bonded to the other two with a very high energy bond, so a lot of energy is released when that bond is broken.When the third phosphate is removed from ATP, you get ADP, which stands for Adenosine Di Phosphate.With just 2 phosphates left, the molecule has much less chemical energy, because the high energy bond between the last 2 phosphates has been broken.hen the third phosphate is removed from ATP, you get ADP, which stands for Adenosine Di Phosphate. With just 2 phosphates left, the molecule has much less chemical energy, because the high energy bond between the last 2 phosphates has been broken.
