What is the difference between ADP and ATP?
ATP is the energy molecule that gives energy to the cells while ADP has one less phosphate group and contains more potential energy because more bonds could be broken.
How do ATP store and release energy?
ATP or adenosine triphosphate stores and releases energy by adding or breaking off one of the phosphate molecules on its tail. When a phosphate molecule breaks off of ATP it releases energy. Likewise, if an ADP (a ATP with one lose phosphate group than ATP) gains a phosphate group, energy is stored.
What are the names of the phosphate group in a DNA molecule?
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.
When is energy released from ATP?
( a phosphate group is removed.) when the chemical bond between the second and third phosphate groups is broken, creating adenosine diphosphate, a phosphate group, and releasing energy.
What happens when a ATP loses a phosphate group?
It becomes ADP and energy is released
When the combustion happens in photosynthesis what is attached to the ADP molecule to make it ATP?
A phosphate group is added to turn it into ATP
What happens to the ADP formed from the ATP?
It is recycled by added a phosphate group to it to make ATP again.
What is the difference between ADP and ATP?
ATP is the energy molecule that gives energy to the cells while ADP has one less phosphate group and contains more potential energy because more bonds could be broken.
How does ATP become ADP?
through the release of phosphate group
What functional group is found in ATP?
adenine- amino phosphoanhydride hydroxyl
What are two differences between ADP and ATP?
ATP is adenosine TRIphosphate with three phosphate groups while ADP is adenosine DIphosphate with only two phosphate groups. The phosphate is used to produce energy in human muscle tissue to do work.
Is ATP made up of ADP and a phosphate group?
Yes. ATP is formed when ADP joins with a phosphate through phosphorylation
What produces ATP by blinding phosphate groups to ADP?
ADP is exactly the same as ATP except that ATP has one more phosphate group. (ATP=Adenosine Triphosphate, ADP=Adenosine Diphosphate) This means that adding a phosphate group to ADP would make it ATP simply by definition.
How do ATP store and release energy?
ATP or adenosine triphosphate stores and releases energy by adding or breaking off one of the phosphate molecules on its tail. When a phosphate molecule breaks off of ATP it releases energy. Likewise, if an ADP (a ATP with one lose phosphate group than ATP) gains a phosphate group, energy is stored.
What combines with a phosphate group to form ATP?
combines with p to form atp
What molecule add a phosphate group to ADP to make ATP?
ATP synthase
