Through substrate level phosphorylation where a phosphate group is trasnferred directly from a high-energy moleculr to ADP by the action of an enzyme (demonstrated in glycolysis by pyruvate kinase and phosphoglycerate kinase enzymes); or through oxidative phosphorylation where a series of redox reactions generate a proton gradient that drives the production of ATP from ADP by ATP synthase (demonstrated by electron transport chains of mitochondria and chloroplasts).

∙ 15y agoATP is split into ADP and a free phosphate group by an ATPase, which is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the bond linking the terminal phosphate to the rest of the ATP molecule.
The breaking of this bond releases a large packet of energy, which can be used for cellular purposes.

∙ 10y agoA phosphate group (P) is added to ADP, making it ATP in the mitochondria with the help of an enzyme called ATP synthase. This enzyme is powered by the proton motive force, which would be protons and electrons moving out of the mitochondrial membrane, giving it a different charge in different areas. This difference in charge causes the electrons to go back into the mitichondria where they will link to oxygen to form water, and ADP and inorganic phosphate into ATP.

ATP production formula?
adp+p(i)--->atp ADP +P ---> ATP
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
How do ADP and ATP differ in amount of potential chemical energy?
ADP has less potential energy than ATP has. In fact, there are 7.3 kc less energy in ADP than in ATP.
How is ADP made from ATP?
ADP is made by ATP when one of three peptide bonds of ATP are broken down.
Is the conversion of ADP to ATP reversible?
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 the combustion happens in photosynthesis what is attached to the ADP molecule to make it ATP?
A phosphate group is added to turn it into ATP

ADP has less potential energy than ATP has. In fact, there are 7.3 kc less energy in ADP than in ATP.
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.

Are ATP and ADP fuels?
ATP and ADP are not considered fuels. The fuels that are utilized in order to produce ATP and ADP usually come from the food that people eat.
Is glucose used as an energy source?
Not directly. Glucose is used in cellular respiration to turn ADP into ATP, but it is ATP that is used for energy.
What happens to energy when ATP becomes ADP?
In ATP molecule Adenine is attached to Ribose sugar to which three phosphate molecules are attached. They are high 'energy' bonds formed during biological oxidation of glucose molecule. From ADP you get the ATP molecule. When body needs energy, this ATP is turned into ADP and 'energy' is released. Which is used for various metabolic processes. ADP can turn into AMP in emergency.
What is role is ATP and ADP play in cells?
ATP and ADP are used in cellular respiration to produce sugars. (ATP= energy)
