ATP has three phosphate groups (adenosine TRIphosphate) while ADP has only two (adenosine DIphosphate). ATP has more free energy due to this extra phosphate group (has an extra bond).

How do the ATP and ADP molecules look different?
An ATP molecule has an extra phosphate group compared to an ADP molecule. This is because ATP has 3 phosphate groups as where ADP only has two phosphate groups.
Are ATP and ADP fuels?
ATP and ADP are not considered fuels. The fuels that are utilized in order to produce ATP and ADP usually come from the food that people eat.
How are adp and ATP molecules the same?
ATP and ADP are similar in the sense that they are both molecules that release energy to the cells. ADP differs from ATP because it has one less phosphate group. ADP forms after ATP has released energy.
Which chemical reactions best represents the synthesis of ATP?
adp+p(i)--->atp ADP +P ---> ATP
When ADP molecules gain phosphates do they become ATP molecules?
yes ADP + iP ----- ATP
ATP production formula?
adp+p(i)--->atp ADP +P ---> ATP
How do the ATP and ADP molecules look different?
An ATP molecule has an extra phosphate group compared to an ADP molecule. This is because ATP has 3 phosphate groups as where ADP only has two phosphate groups.
What is the structure different between ATP and ADP?
ATP stands for adenosine tri phosphate. ADP stands for adenosine di phosphate. ATP has three phosphate molecules. ADP has only two phosphate molecules.
Is removing phosphate from ATP to form ADP known as phosphorylation?
Phosphorylation is the addition of a phosphate to ADP to form ATP. ADP + P = ATP Dephosphorylation is the removal of a phosphate from ATP to form ADP. ATP - P = ADP
How are ADP and ATP energy wise different?
ATP is more energitic than ADP because ATP has 3 high energy phosphet bonds out of which 3rd phosphate bond have highest energy which is not present in ADP (2 phosphate bonds)
How do ADP and ATP differ in amount of potential chemical energy?
ADP has less potential energy than ATP has. In fact, there are 7.3 kc less energy in ADP than in ATP.
How does ATP differ from ADP?
The biggest difference between ATP and ADP is that ADP contains 2 phosphates. ATP contains 3 phosphates. ADP means adenine di-phosphate and ATP means adenine tri-phosphate.
How is ADP made from ATP?
ADP is made by ATP when one of three peptide bonds of ATP are broken down.
Is the conversion of ADP to ATP reversible?
Yes; when ATP is used up (loses a phosphate group), it can be "re-energized" (phosphorylated) by the addition of a free phosphate. ADP is constantly being made into ATP and ATP is constantly being used up and turned into ADP.
How does ADP differ ATP?
The biggest difference between ATP and ADP is that ADP contains 2 phosphates. ATP contains 3 phosphates. ADP means adenine di-phosphate and ATP means adenine tri-phosphate.
