IN WHAT FORM IS THE ENERGY RELEASED WHEN ATP IS BROKEN DOWN, AND WHAT IS EXACTLY THE ROLE OF THE PHOSPHORUS ATOM IN ENERGY PRODUCTION, AND CAN CARBON OR NITROGEN SUBSTITUTE FOR THE PHOSPHORUS, AND WHY IS OXYGEN SO SPECIAL AN ATOM IN ENERGY PRODUCTION? I HAVE READ MANY ARTICLES ABOUT ATP SYNTHESIS AND PATHWAYS, UNFORTURNATELY NON OF THEM WAS POINTING OUT THE UNIQUENESS OF THE ATOMS THEM SELVES FOR EXAMPLE THE WHAT SPECIAL PROPERTY IS IN THE (P)ATOM TO PLAY SUCH AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN ATP AND CAN THIS ATOM BE REPLACED BY ANY OTHER ELEMENT WITH OUT LOOSING ITS FUNCTION ......
