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.

Where does the energy add a phosphate group to ADP to form ATP come from?
Energy is needed to add a third phosphate group to ADP to make ATP. What is a cell's source of this energy?
What is needed to add a third phosphate group to ADP to make ATP?
ATP synthase
Does oxygen and phosphate bond together to make ATP?
To make ATP you must add ADP to a reaction. In the reaction ADP will be reduced and the other molecule will be oxidized by breaking the bond between the phosphate group and the oxygen. Your products will be a phosphate group, another molecule, and ATP.
What purpose does creatine phosphate serve?
Creatine Phosphate Supplies energy to regenerate ATP from ADP and phosphate.
Do exergonic reactions occur when ADP binds to inorganic phosphate to form ATP?
No, it occurs during aerobic cellular respiration.
Is removing phosphate from ATP to form ADP known as phosphorylation?
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
What happens to the breakdown products when ATP is broken into ADP and phosphate in a cell?
The ADP is phosphorylated during respiriation to form new ATP
What is the procces called When an ADP molecule gains a phosphate and becomes an ATP molecule?
phosphorylation
What is the relationship of ATP with ADP?
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.
When an ADP molecule gains a phosphate it becomes an ATP molecule. This process is called?
This process is called phosphorylation.
When an ADP molecule gains a phosphate it becomes an ATP molecule. This process is called .?
phosphorilation
Where does the energy add a phosphate group to ADP to form ATP come from?
Energy is needed to add a third phosphate group to ADP to make ATP. What is a cell's source of this energy?
What happens to an ATP molecule when phosphate is removed?
it becomes ADP. ATP is adenosine triphosphate, while ADP is adenosine diphosphate.
What happens when a ATP loses a phosphate group?
It becomes ADP and energy is released
What will form when ATP is initially broken down?
ADP + phosphate + energy
What happens to the energy in ATP when it loses a phosphate?
it loses half its energy and becomes ADP.
How do ADP and ATP differ in the number of phosphate molecules?
ADP have two phosphate molecules and ATP have three phosphate molecules in it.
