ATP is always alternationg between ADP and ATP. ADP is a simpler form of ATP, which is made up of two phosphate groups instead of three. ATP is usually used in mitochondrial cycles such as glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, and is usually made from ADP during these cycles. So, my first guess would be that ADP is like the 'dormant' stage of ATP, meaning it is in that form when it is not being directly used to 'power' cycles. Therefore, there is no way to 'measure' their 'life span', they are simply being made and broken down according to cell functions.
What else can I help you with?
Is ATP an active or passive molecule in cellular processes?
ATP is an active molecule in cellular processes.
How many ATP are produced by the fermentation of one molecule of glucose?
2 ATP are produced in anaerobic respiration(fermentation)
What molecule is known as energy currency of the cell?
The chief energy currency all cells use is a molecule called ATP. ATP is the main energy source that cells use for most of their work adenosine.
How many ATP can be generated from a molecule of glycerol?
Approximately 19 ATP molecules can be generated from the metabolism of a molecule of glycerol through the process of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.
How is energy released from an ATP molecule?
Energy is released from an ATP molecule through a process called hydrolysis, where a phosphate group is removed from the ATP molecule, breaking a high-energy bond and releasing energy that can be used by the cell for various biological processes.
How do you get energy out of ATP?
By losing the last molecule and turning into ADP
What is the energy molecule for all living things?
Last I heard, the energy molecule for humans is ATP, adenosine triphosphate. I don't think that other living things such as plants have ATP. They do photosynthesis. But regarding humans, ATP is taught to be the energy molecule.
What are the 3 types of ATP in a molecule?
There is only one type of ATP and it is a molecule all of its own.
Is ATP an active or passive molecule in cellular processes?
ATP is an active molecule in cellular processes.
What molecule actually does the worm of life?
ATP
What molecule carries out the major amount of energy for the cell?
ATP or adenosine triphosphate, is involved in energy transfer.
How many ATP are produced by the fermentation of one molecule of glucose?
2 ATP are produced in anaerobic respiration(fermentation)
Can cells store ATP for long periods of time?
No, cells do not store ATP for long periods of time as ATP is a high-energy molecule that is constantly being used and regenerated within cells. Cells produce ATP as needed through processes like glycolysis and cellular respiration.
Why ATP is consider currency?
ATP (the molecule) is not considered to be a currency.
What is the principle of energy currency in molecule of living systems?
Atp
What molecule is used by the enzymes ATP synthase to form ATP.?
ADP
Which part of the ATP molecule breaks free of the rest when an ATP molecule is used for energy?
The phosphate group is the part of the ATP molecule that breaks free when ATP is used for energy, converting ATP to ADP (adenosine diphosphate). This release of the phosphate group provides the energy needed for cellular processes.
