because adp is missing a phosphate group and thus cannot carry as much energy as adenosine triphosphate.

How do ATP and ADP differ in amount of potential energy?
ADP has less potential energy than ATP has. In fact, there are 7.3 kc less energy in ADP than in ATP.
What is the difference between ADP and ATP?
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.
When you are rested do you have ATP or ADP?
More ADP, as ATP is constantly being used. ATP is being quickly broken down i.e. one phosphate is "ripped off" and used leaving ADP
Why does formation of ATP from ADP and p require more energy than the amount released for cellular use when ATP is broken down?

How are ADP and ATP structurally different?
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).
Does ADP store more energy than ATP?
no! atp stores more! :)
How does ATP differ from ADP?
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.

How are ADP and ATP energy wise different?
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)
Why is ADP more stable than ATP?
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.
Do cells have more ATP or ADP?
ATP has much more energy than ADP because it has one more phosphate bond which contains energy.
ATP production formula?
adp+p(i)--->atp ADP +P ---> ATP
What produces ATP by blinding phosphate groups to ADP?
ADP is exactly the same as ATP except that ATP has one more phosphate group. (ATP=Adenosine Triphosphate, ADP=Adenosine Diphosphate) This means that adding a phosphate group to ADP would make it ATP simply by definition.
How is ADP related to ATP?
it is the ratio of the ADP and ATP produced in a cell, based on the viable conditions of the cell. A proliferating cell produces more ATP than ADP. This even inlcudes cancerous cells that are proliferating out of contorl. Meanwhile, cells that are undergoing apoptosis, or natural programmed cell death, or cells that are undergoing necrosis, or death induced by harsh environmental factors, have more ADP compared to ATP because the cell is not proudcing ATP while hydrolyzing the remaining ATP into ADP. ATP, by the way, is one of the molecules that is used for energy to carry out tasks in cells.
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
