Hey mate
Here your answer
The word ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate also known as the energy currency of the cell. The energy released during the process of respiration is used to build up an ATP molecules from ADP and inorganic phosphate (pi) . This can be summarised as the equation given below.
The energy equivalent to 30.5kj/mol is released, when the terminal phosphate linkage in ATP is broken down using water. The energy thus, produced is eventually used as a fuel to drive the endothermic reaction taking place during the cellular activities such as contraction of muscles, conduction of nerve impulses, protein synthesis etc.
