ATP means adenosine triphosphate.
It is literally made up of the nitrogenous base adenine, and 3 phosphates. The bonds holding phosphate together are high in energy-they are often described as a spring that is compressed, just waiting to be released. When a phosphate does end up getting disconnected from the molecule, it ends up providing energy for other reactions. The free phosphate attaches itself to a reactant molecule and this process (phosphorylation) energizes the reactants. The molecule the phosphate broke off of is now called ADP (adenosine diphosphate)
