Up to 4 seconds. ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate. The energy that ATP stores gives energy for many life processes, which include the contraction of muscles and the synthesis of chemicals. ATP is found in all forms of life. It is also known as the intracellular energy transfer's molecular unit of currency.
Three components make up ATP, which are adenine, and that is a nitrogenous base. The other two are triphosphate and sugar ribose. A 9-nitrogen atom attaches the adenine to the one-carbon of the sugar. Together, they are attached to the triphosphate group's sugar.
