What is another word for triphosphates?
Pronunciation: [tɹˈɪfəsfˌe͡ɪts] (IPA) 
Triphosphates are molecules that contain three phosphate groups. These compounds play a crucial role in energy production in living organisms, as they are involved in the synthesis and breakdown of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the primary "energy currency" in biological systems. Although "triphosphates" is a commonly used term to refer to these molecules, there are several synonyms that can be used to describe them. Some of these include triphosphate, triphosphoric acid, triphosphoanhydride, triphosphate anhydride, and triphosphoric ester. Each of these terms denotes the same molecular structure of three phosphate groups and can be used interchangeably in scientific literature.
