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.
ATP is the energy molecule that gives energy to the cells while ADP has one less phosphate group and contains more potential energy because more bonds could be broken.
It requires energy. ADP is adenosine diphosphate and ATP is adenosone triphosphate. Basically, ATP has three phosphate groups (tri-phosphate) and ADP has two (di-phosphate). When ATP releases energy, a phosphate group is detached, forming energy and ADP. Therefore, to get ATP from ADP, energy is required to add one phosphate group onto the ADP.
ATP has much more energy than ADP because it has one more phosphate bond which contains energy.
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)
no! atp stores more! :)
ATP releases loses a phosphate group to form ADP-- this releases energy. ADP regains a phosphate group to form ATP-- this takes in energy. ATP breakdown and formation cycle through the metabolic processes providing energy where needed and taking it back in when it can be spared.
ADP
ATP and ADP are similar in the sense that they are both molecules that release energy to the cells. ADP differs from ATP because it has one less phosphate group. ADP forms after ATP has released energy.
Adensosine Di-Phosphate is at a lower energy configuration than Adenosine Tri-Phosphate. When we have the hydrolysis reaction of ATP such that ATP+H20→ADP+Inorganic Phosphate+Energy, the Inorganic Phosphate has more stability as the split off phosphorus has more resonance configurations to achive stability. Also, the phosphate groups of ATP are repelled by the negative charges on theconsecutiveoxygen's bonded tophosphorus, thus ATP is much more stable than ADP. As a result, ATP→ADP is an important process as it isspontaneous as the splitting reaction into smaller molecules wants to occur, and would thus release stored energy which was originally needed to convert ADP→ATP.
When ADP is phosphorylated by a kinase or phosphatase enzyme, it becomes ATP.
