Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a high energy molecule with 3 phosphate groups that a cell uses to extract and store energy from other molecules such as carbohydrates.
Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is a low-energy molecule that is one phosphate group less of an ATP molecule. ADP chemically bonds with a phosphate group to form ATP to function as such.
Adenosine monophosphate (AMP) is simply the adenosine molecule bonded to only one phosphate group.

What compounds contain the most energy amp adp atp pi?
The most energy is contained in ATP>ADP>AMP>Pi.
ATP production formula?
adp+p(i)--->atp ADP +P ---> ATP
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
What happen ADP after ATP hydrolysis?
It is recycled by added a phosphate group to it to make ATP again.
Do cells have more ATP or ADP?
ATP has much more energy than ADP because it has one more phosphate bond which contains energy.
What compounds contain the most energy amp adp atp pi?
The most energy is contained in ATP>ADP>AMP>Pi.
What equation shows how ATP is made?
amp+2p=atp 0r adp+p=atp
What are three proteins made by the human body?
ATP ADP AMP
Why formation of ADP from ATP release more energy then formation of AMP from ADP?
20 ions are broken down
Why does ATP contains a large amount energy?
ATP is a molecule with three phosphate groups attached to a DNA base (A). the third and second phosphate are often removed in chemical reactions and the energy released from breaking these bonds is carefully channelled to catalyse other chemical reactions in the cell. ATP is also kept away from equilibrium of its chemical reaction, meaning in the cells there are many more molecules of ATP products made when phosphates are removed to give ADP or AMP: ATP <-----> ADP + Phosphate ATP <-----> AMP + Di phosphate (2 phosphates) By the cell maintaining ATP at high concentrations and ADP and AMP at low concentrations the energy released from breaking ATP down to ADP or AMP is much larger than if there were equal amounts of ATP, ADP and AMP. This is why ATP is said to contain energy, like pushing a Bowling ball to the top of a hill and then letting it roll down ATP releases energy when it is turned into its products.
When ATP is broken down what are the three products?
Often ATP IS the end product which is then used by the cell. ATP can be dephosphorylated to form ADP, AMP, and cAMP.
Why only triphosphate is there in ATP?
that's not true, ADP and AMP are normally present in cells.
ATP production formula?
adp+p(i)--->atp ADP +P ---> ATP

What happens to the ADP formed from the ATP?
It is recycled by added a phosphate group to it to make ATP again.
