ATP can be broken down into?
ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate. When the body breaks up ATP it simply breaks off a single phosphate group creating Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) and energy.
What makes up adenosine diphosphate?
When a second phosphate group is added its makes adenosine diphosphate AKA (ADP).
How is ATP destroyed?
Through the first law of conservation of matter, matter can neither be created nor destroyed, only changed. This being said, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) can not be destroyed. It can, however, be broken up by several biological reactions into ADP (adenosine diphosphate). During these reactions, energy is released that a cell can use in order to perform certain actions.
Where is ATPase enzyme needed for muscle contraction located?
It is in the mitochodria and speeds up the formation of ATP by breaking down ATP into ADP + energy. Muscle cells have many more mitochrondia than other cells.
What are components of ADP?
Each molecule of ADP is made up of an adenosine head and two phosphates. Adenosine: C10H13N5O4; consisting of an adenine ring (same stuff that's in DNA and RNA) and a ribose sugar (once again, also makes up part of DNA). Phosphates: PO3; the bonds are the key to their energy. The bond between the first phosphate and the adenosine is rock solid, just like in most covalent compounds. The bond between that and the second phosphate, however, is considerably less stable and thus more energetic. That's where ADP ends. But most cellular processes are all about ATP, adenosine triphosphate. You get that by hooking another phosphate onto the end of ATP, but that bond is crazy unstable, ready to burst, cram-jam-packed to the gills with energy. The bond holding on the last phosphate is a hair trigger, that lets loose an explosion (well, on a molecular level0 of usable energy, and every cell in every living organism makes it, needs it, and has a way to get it and harness it. There you go. ATP, neatly explained.
Is glucose a part of adenosine diphosphate?
Yes
Is adenine part of adenosine diphosphate?
yes it is.
What are the required materials for glycolysis?
Glycolysis requires glucose, adenosine diphosphate, phosphate, and NAD+.
What sugars are part of adenosine diphosphate?
5 cornered Ribose sugar
Is 2 phosphate groups part of adenosine diphosphate?
Precisely! In adenosine diphosphate, the adenosine refers to an adenine base (found in both DNA and RNA) along with two (from "di" meaning two) phosphate groups.
How can adenosine diphosphate be converted into adenosine triphosphate?
By phosphorylation
How many ADP are required in glucose?
Adenosine Diphosphate that is ADP is a product of ATP that is Adenosine triphosphate. When ATP breaks down it gives ATP = ADP + iP (phosphate group) Actually 36 ATP molecules are required in Glucose
What is short for adenosine diphosphate?
ADP
The energy molecule ATP is a product of the reactant?
adenosene diphosphate
What are some examples of ADP?
ADP (adenosine diphosphate) is oxydatively phosphorylated in the mitochondria to become ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is then dephosphorylated to create energy.
What is he shorthand name for adenosine diphosphate?
adp
What is adenosine diphosphate also called?
ADP
