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.

How does ATP produce energy?
A molecule hat energy in form that can be used for molecule contractions
How is cellular work done by ATP?
ATP is a molecule of 1 Adenosine atom and 3 Phosphate atoms. When the last Phosphate atom in line separates from the molecule, it releases energy. Oxidative Phosphorilation.
The ATP molecule is not used in?
The ATP molecule is not used in excretion process. This is a molecule that will be used in cellular respiration to store energy.
What is the key component of the energy molecule ATP?
The key component of the energy molecule, ATP is the ribose.
How many ATP can be generated from a molecule of glycerol?
18 atp
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.

The energy of ATP becomes available to a cell when the molecule is what?
the ATP molecule is broken down

The ATP molecule is not used in excretion process. This is a molecule that will be used in cellular respiration to store energy.
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.
Which part of the ATP molecule breaks free of the rest when an ATP molecule is used for energy?
the adenine
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.
What is the key component of the energy molecule ATP?
The key component of the energy molecule, ATP is the ribose.
What molecule must bind to to the cross bridge in order for it to disconnect with actin?
The molecule that binds to myosin, which causes it to disconnect, is an ATP molecule
