ADP.

ATP = adenosine triphosphate (the last part means 'three phosphates', that's the 'tri' bit).

ADP = adenosine diphosphate ('two phosphates', 'di' = two).

Is used ATP discarded?

No, when ATP is used, the bond between the second and third phosphate bonds are broken, forming ADP and a phosphate group, which can then reform into ATP.


What is needed to add a third phosphate group to ADP to make ATP?

ATP synthase


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.


How does ATP provide cell energy?

ATP provides energy for a cell by storing energy in the bond between the second and third phosphate group. ATP really wants to get rid of the third phosphate group. When a cell needs energy it breaks the weak bond between the two phosphates and work is done.


What are two differences between ADP and ATP?

ADP (adenosine diphosphate) has two phosphate groups, while ATP (adenosine triphosphate) has three phosphate groups. ADP is the result of ATP losing a phosphate group during cellular processes, releasing energy, which can be used to fuel cellular activities.


When is the energy stored in ATP released?

The energy stored in ATP is released when a phosphate group is removed from ATP through a hydrolysis reaction, forming ADP and an inorganic phosphate molecule. This process releases energy that can be used by the cell for various biological processes.


What process adds the third phosphate to an ADP molecule?

The third phosphate group releases energy using hydrolysis. Then, the third phosphate group will be released too. The adenosine diphosphate (ADP) will absorb the energy back to regain the third phosphate group.


When is energy released from a APT molecule?

I don't know what APT is, but ATP (adenosine triphosphate) releases energy when a phosphate group is removed from the rest of the ATP. When the bond that holds the phosphate group to the rest of the ATP is broken, it releases energy. The products are ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and a free phosphate group.


What does ATP change into when the third P-bond is broken?

ATP is broken into ADP.Adenosine Tri Phosphate into Adenosine Di Phosphate.


What is released when a ATP looses a phosphate?

ATP (adinine triphosphate) loses a phosphate group to become ADP (adinine diphosphate). The phosphate group was released is referred to as inorganic phosphate. There is also a release of energy as the high energy phosphate bonds are cleaved.


Which enzyme catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to a protein?

The enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to a protein is called a protein kinase.


When ATP synthase in activated it adds a phosphate group to what molecule?

ATP synthase catalyzes the addition of a phosphate group to an ADP molecule. ADP + ATP synthase + P --> ATP + ATP synthase (ATP synthase on both sides of the equation indicates that, as an enzyme, it is not used up in the reaction.)
