Answer #1

ATP stand for adenosine tri phosphate, contain 3 phosphate group attached with high energy bond phospho hydride bond. It is produced either by substrate level phosphorylation or by oxidative phosphorylation.

ATP act as a energy currency of the cell. Phosphate tail of ATP is actual show conserved energy . Upon hydrolysis of phosoanhydride bond energy is released.

Phosphorylation is process in which ATP is able to  transferring its phosphate group to another molecule (a process called phosphorylation). This transfer is carried by  enzymes which couple with the hydrolysis of high energy bond and release of energy from ATP to cellular activities that require energy.
