Ribose, 3 Phosphate Groups, and Ribose
ADP has two, I think... So ATP would have three. :D
An RNA nucleotide is most similar in structure to ATP. ATP is a molecule that acts as an intermediary to store energy for cellular work.
ATP consists of the nucleotide Adenosine, and three phosphates linked together. The dephosphorylation of ATP to ADP and P is Exothermic since it is an example of catabolism and thus energy is released.
The key component of the energy molecule ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the triphosphate group, which consists of three phosphate groups linked together. When one of these phosphate bonds is broken, it releases energy that can be used for cellular processes.
A molecule of ATP consists of the sugar ribose, the nitrogen base adenine, and three phosphate groups.
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.
A key component of the energy molecule ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is its three phosphate groups. These phosphate groups are linked by high-energy bonds, and when one of these bonds is broken (typically the bond to the outermost phosphate), ATP releases energy that can be used by cells for various biological processes. Additionally, ATP consists of a ribose sugar and an adenine base, which together form the adenosine part of the molecule.
There is only one type of ATP and it is a molecule all of its own.
ATP is an active molecule in cellular processes.
ATP
ATP or adenosine triphosphate, is involved in energy transfer.
2 ATP are produced in anaerobic respiration(fermentation)
