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.

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.
How many phosphate groups groups are in one molecule of ADP?
There are two phosphate groups in one molecule of 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 is removed when ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP?
A phosphate molecule
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.

What is an ATP molecule that loses a phosphate called?
adp
What is the procces called When an ADP molecule gains a phosphate and becomes an ATP molecule?
phosphorylation

Is there phosphorus in ADP?
Yes, two phosphorus atoms (one in each phosphate group) per ADP molecule.
How do you get energy out of ATP?
By losing the last molecule and turning into ADP
Synthesis of an ATP molecule requires two ADP molecules?
No
