ADP have two phosphate molecules and ATP have three phosphate molecules in it.
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.
phosphorylation
ATP turns into ADP when energy is released along with a phosphate group. once adenine loses its phosphate groups it recylces back into ATP where the cycle starts again.
ATP and ADP are similar in the sense that they are both molecules that release energy to the cells. ADP differs from ATP because it has one less phosphate group. ADP forms after ATP has released energy.
ADP have two phosphate molecules and ATP have three phosphate molecules in it.
ATP stands for adenosine tri phosphate. ADP stands for adenosine di phosphate. ATP has three phosphate molecules. ADP has only two phosphate molecules.

phosphorylation
Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) has a structure that is similar to that of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP); the only difference is that ADP has two phosphate groups instead of three. When a Cell has energy available, it can store significant amounts of energy by adding a phosphate group to the ADP molecules producing ultra-energy rich ATP.

ATP or adenosine triphosphate. When ADP, adenosine diphosphate, gets a third phosphate group, it becomes ATP. ATP is the energy source of many reactions in the cell. When a reaction needs energy to occur, the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction also cleaves a molecule of ATP into ADP and phosphate. The energy of the phosphate bond is used to fuel the endothermic reaction. The ATP is regenerated (phosphorylation of ADP) in the glycolysis or another process that generates energy.
This process is called phosphorylation.
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.
ADP stands doe adenosine diphosphate have 2 phosphate molecules. the prefix "di" gives a clear clue of what it is. It's former form ATP adenosine triphosphate have 3 phosphate molecules.
