Best Answer

ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is formed when a phosphate is added to ADP (Adenosine diphosphate).

For ATP, "triphosphate" means it has three phosphates.

For ADP, "diphosphate" means it has two phosphates.

Can an enzyme bind to nearly any molecule?

No; enzymes have substrate specificity, which means the substrate has to be a specific shape for the enzyme to bind to it.

Does CO2 bind at the same site on the hemoglobin molecule as O2 If not where does CO2 bind?

No. Carbon monoxide binds to the same site as oxygen, i.e. the central iron. Carbon dioxide binds to the globin molecule.
