i looks like adenosine with three little phosphate groups attached
If a molecule of ATP is oxidized, it loses a phosphate group and is converted into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) along with release of energy that can be used by the cell for various processes.
There are two ribose molecules found in one molecule of adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
Both ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and ADP (adenosine diphosphate) contain an adenosine molecule and a phosphate group. The main difference between ATP and ADP is the number of phosphate groups attached to the adenosine molecule. ATP has three phosphate groups, while ADP has two phosphate groups.
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
It essentially turns back into an ATP molecule.
how is a molecule of ADP like a rechargeable battery
There are two phosphate groups in one molecule of ADP.
An ATP molecule has an extra phosphate group compared to an ADP molecule. This is because ATP has 3 phosphate groups as where ADP only has two phosphate groups.
ADP (Adenosine diphosphate) Technically, ATP breaks into ADP and a molecule of inorganic phosphate.
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.
when a phosphate group is removed from ATP energy is released and the molecule ADP is formed.
Yes, two phosphorus atoms (one in each phosphate group) per ADP molecule.
By losing the last molecule and turning into ADP
i am in the same situation and it don't look like we have access to the ADP website anymore
it becomes ADP. ATP is adenosine triphosphate, while ADP is adenosine diphosphate.
Adenosine diphosphate. ADP. Two phosphate groups.
This process is called phosphorylation.
