The terminal phosphate group is broken off. The negative charge on the phosphate groups make them willing to separate.
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
adp+p(i)--->atp ADP +P ---> ATP
ADP is made by ATP when one of three peptide bonds of ATP are broken down.
ATP has higher potential chemical energy compared to ADP due to the presence of an extra phosphate group in ATP. This extra phosphate group allows ATP to store and release energy more readily during cellular processes. When ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP, energy is released and can be used by the cell for various functions.
Yes; when ATP is used up (loses a phosphate group), it can be "re-energized" (phosphorylated) by the addition of a free phosphate. ADP is constantly being made into ATP and ATP is constantly being used up and turned into ADP.

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

ATP and ADP are used in cellular respiration to produce sugars. (ATP= energy)
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.
ADP has less potential energy than ATP has. In fact, there are 7.3 kc less energy in ADP than in ATP.
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.
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
