ADP has two phosphate groups while ATP has three. When one phosphate breaks off of the three it the remaining two become ADP.

When ADP molecules gain phosphates do they become ATP molecules?
yes ADP + iP ----- ATP
Are ATP and mitochondria alike?
ATP and ADP are have similar structures the only difference is ATP has 3 phosphates and ADP has only 2 phosphates.
What is forming if energy is used to bind a phosphate molecule to ADP?
ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is formed when a phosphate is added to ADP (Adenosine diphosphate).For ATP, "triphosphate" means it has three phosphates.For ADP, "diphosphate" means it has two phosphates.
How are ADP and ATP structurally different?
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).
What happens when phosphates are broken off of ATP?
When a phosphate group is removed from ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a nucleotide known as ADP (adenosine diphosphate) is formed.
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.
When ADP molecules gain phosphates do they become ATP molecules?
yes ADP + iP ----- 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.
Where does the carbon come from in the CO2 that you breathe out?
The ATP stores energy in an organism. When it changes from ATP to ADP it is only the effect of how many phosphates there are in the two. When the organism is using ATP it uses a phosphate which then changes to ADP after it takes a one of the three phosphates to make it into two.
What is ATP with out a third phosphate group?
ADP. ATP = adenosine triphosphate (the last part means 'three phosphates', that's the 'tri' bit). ADP = adenosine diphosphate ('two phosphates', 'di' = two).
What is the role of ATP in an catalobic reaction?
ADP reduces when involved in a catabolic reaction and gains an extra phosphate group, becoming ATP (three phosphates), a molecule with more chemical energy stored than ADP (two phosphates).
Are ATP and mitochondria alike?
ATP and ADP are have similar structures the only difference is ATP has 3 phosphates and ADP has only 2 phosphates.
In which structure, ATP or ADP, is more energy stored?
ATP because it is stored in the third phosphate and ADP only has two phosphates.
When ATP molecules gain phosphates they become ATP molecules?
yes ADP + iP ----- ATP
What happens when a phosphates group is removed from an ATP molecule?
Energy is released.
How is condensation and hydrolysis related to ATP and ADP?
ATP can break down by hydrolysis (when phosphates are added) Hydrolysis reactions are exergonic, and the reverse of condensation is hydrolysis. (when phosphates are taken away)
What is forming if energy is used to bind a phosphate molecule to ADP?
ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is formed when a phosphate is added to ADP (Adenosine diphosphate).For ATP, "triphosphate" means it has three phosphates.For ADP, "diphosphate" means it has two phosphates.
