ATP is converted to ADP when it is used for energy.
This can happen during many activities of the cell including replication or transcription of DNA or for "pumping" molecules in and out of the cell against the ion gradient through channels in the bilipid layer.

∙ 14y agowhen energy is captured in a phosphate bond of each ATP, the captured energy is released when the bond is broken, the released energy becomes an ADP. the ADP can also be converted back to ATP by recapturing the energy into phospate bonds

∙ 11y agoATP is converted into ADP when the bond between the second and third phosphate group is broken. The equation for the reaction is ATP --> ADP + P, where P is the third phosphate group.

What is an ATP molecule that loses a phosphate called?
adp
What atoms have to be removed to make the ATP molecule?
No atom is removed but phosphate is added in ADP to form ATP.
What are the molecules acts as an energy storage molecule in the muscle by donating a phosphorus molecule to resynthesize ATP and ADP?
Creatine Phosphate
What molecule has a binding site for myosin heads?
Myosin heads bind to the actin binding site, and also has a part where ATP binds
What molecule forms when ATP loses a phosphate?
ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) looses a phosphate to form ADP (Adenosine diphosphate), and release energy.
What happens to the ADP molecule produced when ATP loses a phosphate during and energy transfer?
The Answer is: the Energy from cellular respiration is used to convert ADP back to ATP.
How do the ATP and ADP molecules look different?
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.
What converts ADT to ATP?
The item that converts ADT to ATP is the ADT synthase. This is an enzyme that works to convert both a phosphate molecule and ADP together to make ATP.
If a molecule of ATP is oxidized becomes?
ADP
What molecule is used by the enzymes ATP synthase to form ATP.?
ADP
What molecule is formed when ATP loses a phosphate group and releases energy?
ADP (Adenosine diphosphate) Technically, ATP breaks into ADP and a molecule of inorganic phosphate.
What happens to an ATP molecule when phosphate is removed?
it becomes ADP. ATP is adenosine triphosphate, while ADP is adenosine diphosphate.
What is removed when ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP?
A phosphate molecule
What is an ATP molecule that loses a phosphate called?
adp
What molecule has the most stored energy ADP ATP NADPH or starch?
ATP
What molecule is released from the ATP?
ATP becomes energy for the cell and releases ADP.
What molecule add a phosphate group to ADP to make ATP?
ATP synthase
