Explanation:

The Adenosine triphosphate molecule ATP in short is the chemical which provides energy to the cells to carry out their functions. The chemical formula is [tex]C_{10}H_{16}N_{5}O_{13}P_{3}[/tex].  It coverts into two forms  adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or to adenosine monophosphate (AMP).
