ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is broken down during Glycolysis and the Citric Acid Cycle during cellular respiration to produce ADP (Adenosine diphosphate).
ATP becomes energy for the cell and releases ADP.
ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate is broken down into ADP or Adenosine Diphosphate and phosphate. Energy is released as a result of this breaking down.
break down of ATP into adp occurs when the one peptide bond of ATP is broken down.
ADP + P + Energy
The molecule that breaks down ATP is called ATPase. It is an enzyme that hydrolyzes ATP into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate, releasing energy that can be used by the cell for various processes.
When ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is broken down, the products are energy, phosphate, and ADP (adenosine diphosphate). ATP--> ADP + P + Energy.
The major molecule involved in energy release and storage is ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE. It contains a large ADENOSINE molecule connected to three PHOSPHATE groups via PHOSPHATE bond. When the bond that connects one of the three PHOSPHATE groups to the ADENOSINE molecule is broken down, energy is released. The resulting molecule would be ADENOSINE DIPHOSPHATE, one free PHOSPHATE group and energy.
20 ions are broken down
ADP + Inorganic phosphorus + Energy
The bond between the second and third phosphate group of an ATP molecule are broken, releasing energy and producing ADP.
ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi + Energy ATP = Adenosine Triphosphate ADP = Adenosine Diphosphate
ATP is adenosine triphosphate, and is the energy storage molecule of the cell. It is broken down into adenosine diphosphate, ADP, and a phosphate group, P, releasing energy the cell can use to do work.
