The purpose of ATP is to store energy. ATP stands for adenosine tri-phosphate, and the energy is mostly stored in the third phosphate bond. ATP is used by cells 24/7 as a form of energy.

The purpose of ADP is to have to potential to store energy. ADP stands for adenosine di-phosphate, and when another phosphate is added onto the molecule it is called ATP and will store energy. When ATP releases energy the third phosphate comes off and it becomes ADP.

How does ADP differ ATP?

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.

What is a simple equation for reforming ATP?

The equation for reforming ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate is: ADP + Pi + energy → ATP. This process is catalyzed by the enzyme ATP synthase during cellular respiration.


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.


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


How is ADP made from ATP?

ADP is made by ATP when one of three peptide bonds of ATP are broken down.


Is ADP a product of cellular respiration?

No, ATP is a product. ADP assists in the creation of ATP in cellular respiration.


When ATP is converted to ADP Where is the energy?

Usually energy in the body's obtained from converting ATP into ADP. However, glycolysis, the process of converting glucose to pyruvate, releases energy that turns ADP into ATP.

How many ADP are required in glucose?

Adenosine Diphosphate that is ADP is a product of ATP that is Adenosine triphosphate. When ATP breaks down it gives ATP = ADP + iP (phosphate group) Actually 36 ATP molecules are required in Glucose
