Why is ATP often thought of as rechargeable battery?
Because ATP stores energy and releases it turning into ADP in the process. This ADP is then converted back to ATP by the cells so that its energy is ready when required, just like a rechargeable battery.
Which one is like a charged battery ATP or ADP?
ATP is like a charged battery
How is the ATP molecule like a rechargable battery?
When ATP is used, it becomes ADP or Adenine Di-Phosphate. Adding another phosphate will "recharge" ATP.
What's the difference in the Flashlight beams in ADP and ATP?
ADP is like a partially charged battery that will produce a dim light & ATP is like a fully charged battery that produces a bright light
How many phosphate groups groups are in one molecule of ADP?
There are two phosphate groups in one molecule of ADP.
What goes into ATP and comes out of ATP?
ATP is an energy and molecule it powers all of the cells energy needs somewhat like a battery. ATP is generated when a phosphate (P) group is added to one ADP.
If a molecule of ATP is oxidized becomes?
ADP
How are ADP and ATP like a battery?
ADP is like a partially charged battery because there is still energy contained within the bond between the first and second phosphate groups. However, it lacks the "high energy" bond that exists between the second and third phosphate groups in 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 molecule is formed when ATP loses a phosphate group and releases energy?
ADP (Adenosine diphosphate) Technically, ATP breaks into ADP and a molecule of inorganic phosphate.
How is a partially charge battery like adp?
Because it can be fully charged by an addition of a phosphate group.
What is removed when ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP?
A phosphate molecule
