ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
The main energy unit of the cell is ATP or adenosine triphosphate. A ribose sugar, an adenine base, and three phosphate groups make up ATP. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) are produced when the link between the second and third phosphate groups in ATP collapses, liberating the energy retained.
