How do proteins in your cells access the energy stored in ATP?

Question

PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

ATP consists of an adenine molecule, a ribose molecule, and three phosphate molecules.

A-R-P-P-P

As you know, energy is stored in the bonds between molecules. In this case, the highest energy bond in the molecule is in between the last two P molecules. To access energy, an organism must strip that molecule off of the rest of the molecule. This reaction releases a good deal of energy and an ADP("Di"phosphate) molecule, which is ready for recycling into a new ATP molecule

Good luck

Answer 2

they break the high energy phosphate bonds and then parts are distributed to be either bonded with the protein polymer or the other phosphate bonds are stored.
