The enzyme that converts adenosine diphosphate back into adenosine triphosphate is called 'ATP synthase'.

The enzyme responsible for restoring adenosine diphosphate (ADP) back to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) during cellular respiration is ATP synthase. ATP synthase is a complex enzyme located in the inner mitochondrial membrane in eukaryotic cells. It plays a crucial role in the synthesis of ATP by combining inorganic phosphate (Pi) with ADP, using the energy generated by the flow of protons (H+) across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
The process in which ATP synthase functions is known as oxidative phosphorylation, which is the final stage of cellular respiration. During this process, electrons are transferred through the electron transport chain, and the energy released is used to pump protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The flow of protons back into the mitochondrial matrix through ATP synthase is coupled with the synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate. This entire process is essential for the production of ATP, the primary energy currency of the cell.

What molecule is used by the enzyme ATP synthase to form ATP?
Adding one P to ADP (which has only 2 phosphates) takes energy which is stored in the last bond. You get this energy by eating food. ADP + P ----> ATP
How does ATP snythase produce ATP?
ATP synthase is an enzyme that speeds up the production of ADP to ATP. It doesn't need anything. It is just doing what is it is meant to do.
What enzyme is responsible for synthesizing ATP?
The enzyme is ATP synthase (sometimes referred to as "ATP synthetase").It catalyzes the synthesis of ATP from ADP and free inorganic phosphate. It is a remarkable enzyme, part of which spins round. In fact, ATP synthase has been called a molecular machine.To see an image, use the link below.
What spins to provide energy for adding a phosphate group to ADP?
The rotor part of the ATP synthase enzyme.
ATP production formula?
adp+p(i)--->atp ADP +P ---> ATP
The formation of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate?
When ADP is phosphorylated by a kinase or phosphatase enzyme, it becomes ATP.
What enzyme adds a phosphate group to ADP?
ATP synthase
How is ATP regenerated?
ATP is regenerated from ADP and inorganic phosphate by an enzyme controlled process called phosphorylation.
What molecule is used by the enzyme ATP synthase to form ATP?
Adding one P to ADP (which has only 2 phosphates) takes energy which is stored in the last bond. You get this energy by eating food. ADP + P ----> ATP

What is the name of the enzyme used in the ATP-ADP cycle?
The Electron Transport System

What enzyme synthesizes ATP in cellular respiration?
Enzyme ATPase is involved. It binds ADP and Pi
When ATP synthase in activated it adds a phosphate group to what molecule?
ATP synthase catalyzes the addition of a phosphate group to an ADP molecule. ADP + ATP synthase + P --> ATP + ATP synthase (ATP synthase on both sides of the equation indicates that, as an enzyme, it is not used up in the reaction.)
What spins to provide energy for adding a phosphate group to ADP?
The rotor part of the ATP synthase enzyme.
ATP production formula?
adp+p(i)--->atp ADP +P ---> ATP
Is adp enzyme?
No ADP is not an enzyme
