When is energy released from ATP?

( a phosphate group is removed.) when the chemical bond between the second and third phosphate groups is broken, creating adenosine diphosphate, a phosphate group, and releasing energy.


What is the highest energy from of adenosine?

The highest energy form of adenosine is the one that has the most phosphate group.


Discuss ATP as an energy currency?

ATP releases loses a phosphate group to form ADP-- this releases energy. ADP regains a phosphate group to form ATP-- this takes in energy. ATP breakdown and formation cycle through the metabolic processes providing energy where needed and taking it back in when it can be spared.


What is needed to add a third phosphate group to ADP to make ATP?

ATP synthase


What are ATP ADP and AMP?

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a high energy molecule with 3 phosphate groups that a cell uses to extract and store energy from other molecules such as carbohydrates.Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is a low-energy molecule that is one phosphate group less of an ATP molecule. ADP chemically bonds with a phosphate group to form ATP to function as such.Adenosine monophosphate (AMP) is simply the adenosine molecule bonded to only one phosphate group.


Why must energy be added to ADP and a Phosphate group to form ATP?

Because it's an "uphill" reaction. Phosphate groups are negatively charged so they don't easily go together.


What combines with a phosphate group to form ATP?

combines with p to form atp


What is the main function of phosphate?

for energy, form teeth and bones


What molecules with two fatty acid chains and a phosphate group that form biological membranes?

A phospholipid has 2 fatty acid chains and a phosphate group.


Why is phosphorus important in cellular respiration?

The end product of cellular respiration, Atp - Adenosine tri-phosphate, stores energy in the form of a phosphate - phosphate - phosphate bond.


What are the two chemical groups that form the backbone of a DNA strand?

Deoxiribose and phosphate.


What bond in ATP breaks to release energy during the formation of ADP?

The major molecule involved in energy release and storage is ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE. It contains a large ADENOSINE molecule connected to three PHOSPHATE groups via PHOSPHATE bond. When the bond that connects one of the three PHOSPHATE groups to the ADENOSINE molecule is broken down, energy is released. The resulting molecule would be ADENOSINE DIPHOSPHATE, one free PHOSPHATE group and energy.
