ATP stands for adenosine tri phosphate. ADP stands for adenosine di phosphate. ATP has three phosphate molecules. ADP has only two phosphate molecules.
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.
The biggest difference between ATP and ADP is that ADP contains 2 phosphates. ATP contains 3 phosphates. ADP means adenine di-phosphate and ATP means adenine tri-phosphate.

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a multifunctional nucleotide that is most important as a "molecular currency"of intracellular energy transfer. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP), a nucleotide, is an important part of photosynthesis and glycolysis. ADP can be converted into ATP and is also the low energy molecule. ATP is the breakdown of food molecules. ATP is high energy bond as compared to ADP. ATP has three phosphate bonds and ADP has two phosphate bonds. Rest of the structure is common to both.
ATP because it is stored in the third phosphate and ADP only has two phosphates.
adp+p(i)--->atp ADP +P ---> ATP
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 is the addition of a phosphate to ADP to form ATP. ADP + P = ATP Dephosphorylation is the removal of a phosphate from ATP to form ADP. ATP - P = ADP
ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is formed as a result of combination between ADP(Adenosine diphosphate) & iP(Inorganic Phosphate) ieADP+iP~ATP.
ATP is more energitic than ADP because ATP has 3 high energy phosphet bonds out of which 3rd phosphate bond have highest energy which is not present in ADP (2 phosphate bonds)
A
ATP has three phosphate groups (adenosine TRIphosphate) while ADP has only two (adenosine DIphosphate). ATP has more free energy due to this extra phosphate group (has an extra bond).
