****Heyy friend here is ur answer****

ATP is produced with the method of GLYCOLYSIS and occurs in almost all cells. This process is an anaerobic catabolism of glucose that converts a molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvic acid and two molecules of ATP. These molecules are then used as energy by various systems in the body. In eukaryotic organisms, or organisms with a membrane bound nucleus, glycolysis occurs in the cytosol.
Chemically, ATP is an adenine nucleotide bound to three phosphates.
There is a lot of energy stored in the bond between the second and third phosphate groups that can be used to fuel chemical reactions.
When a cell needs energy, it breaks this bond to form adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and a free phosphate molecule.
In some instances, the second phosphate group can also be broken to form adenosine monophosphate (AMP).
When the cell has excess energy, it stores this energy by forming ATP from ADP and phosphate.
