The terminal phosphate group is broken off. The negative charge on the phosphate groups make them willing to separate.

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


ATP production formula?

adp+p(i)--->atp ADP +P ---> ATP


When you change ATP into ADP what change is that?

When ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is converted into ADP (adenosine diphosphate), a phosphate group is removed via hydrolysis, releasing energy that can be used by the cell for various processes. This conversion is a critical step in cellular metabolism to provide energy for cellular functions.


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 uses the mitochondria?

Mitochondria use the sugar glucose to change ADP into ATP. ATP is what produces energy the cell needs.

What is role is ATP and ADP play in cells?

ATP and ADP are used in cellular respiration to produce sugars. (ATP= energy)


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.


Does atp synthase change ADP to atp when light energy pass through it?

No, ATP synthase does not directly use light energy to convert ADP to ATP. ATP synthase uses the energy stored in the form of a proton gradient across a membrane to catalyze the synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate. Light energy is typically used in photosynthesis to generate this proton gradient in the chloroplast membrane.


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.
