Adenosine diphosphate or (ADP) is a compound that looks almost like ATP, except that it has two phosphate groups instead of three. This difference is the key to the way in which living things store energy. When a cell has energy available, it can store small amounts of it by adding a phospate group to ADP molecules, producing 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.
What is removed when ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP?
A phosphate molecule
What molecule is released from the ATP?
ATP becomes energy for the cell and releases ADP.
What can a molecule of ADP be compared to?
Adenosine diphosphate, abbreviated ADP, is a nucleoside diphosphate. It is an ester ofpyrophosphoric acid with the nucleoside adenosine. ADP consists of the pyrophosphategroup, the pentose sugar ribose, and the nucleobase adenine.ADP is the product of ATP dephosphorylation by ATPases. ADP is converted back to ATP by ATP synthases. ATP is an important energy transfer molecule in cells.So simple answer is: ADP can be compared to ATP.

If a molecule of ATP is oxidized becomes?
ADP
What molecule is used by the enzymes ATP synthase to form ATP.?
ADP
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.
What happens to an ATP molecule when phosphate is removed?
it becomes ADP. ATP is adenosine triphosphate, while ADP is adenosine diphosphate.
What is removed when ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP?
A phosphate molecule
What is an ATP molecule that loses a phosphate called?
adp

What molecule has the most stored energy ADP ATP NADPH or starch?
ATP
What molecule add a phosphate group to ADP to make ATP?
ATP synthase
What molecule is released from the ATP?
ATP becomes energy for the cell and releases ADP.
What happens to energy when ATP becomes ADP?
In ATP molecule Adenine is attached to Ribose sugar to which three phosphate molecules are attached. They are high 'energy' bonds formed during biological oxidation of glucose molecule. From ADP you get the ATP molecule. When body needs energy, this ATP is turned into ADP and 'energy' is released. Which is used for various metabolic processes. ADP can turn into AMP in emergency.
