Energy forms because of breakage of high-energy bond between adenosine-diphosohate and a third phosphate bound to it. energy value is not significantly known but is said to have value around 7.3kCal(~30.5kJ). Energy formed is mostly chemical rather than physical.

once ATP uses energy it turns into ADP (Adenine Diphosphate). then Adenine phosphate. after two phosphate groups are used for energy it recycles and through chemiosmosis gains the two back to become ATP again.

ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate. When it loses a phosphate it becomes ADP adenosine diphosphate.

When it's used, it will give up one phosphate group, and it will become ADP.

When ATP loses a phosphate group, it becomes ADP. The breakage of that phosphate group from ATP releases energy.

How do the ATP and ADP molecules look different?

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.

What does phosphorylation do for a molecule?

it adds a phosphate group Phosphorylation is the addition of a phosphate (PO43−) group to a protein or other organic molecule.


What are examples of a phosphate group?

A biological molecule that contains a phosphate group are nucleotides. Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) consist of a five carbon sugar, an organic base, and a phosphate group.


What are ATP ADP and AMP?

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a high energy molecule with 3 phosphate groups that a cell uses to extract and store energy from other molecules such as carbohydrates.Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is a low-energy molecule that is one phosphate group less of an ATP molecule. ADP chemically bonds with a phosphate group to form ATP to function as such.Adenosine monophosphate (AMP) is simply the adenosine molecule bonded to only one phosphate group.


What do you say has happened to a molecule that has gained a phosphate group?

When a molecule has gained a phosphate group, it is said to have been "phosphorylated." This process is called phosphorylation.


When a phosphate group is removed from an ATP molecule what type of molecule is formed?

when a phosphate group is removed from ATP energy is released and the molecule ADP is formed.
