You'll probably get a lot more than you thought, but, you can narrow it down by adding a word or two, such as, in your case, "biology".
As for a mnemonic to remember it, all I can suggest is that "tri-phosphate" is pretty easy to remember, so just concentrate on the first word!
Oh, and be grateful you're not a tennis player, because that would REALLY screw things up for you! (guess you'll just have to try my suggestion, above, to figure out what I mean!) ;)
