The enzyme in mitochondria, called ATP synthase, turns ADP to ATP (the energy molecule) as food is oxidized and oxygen is consumed (reduced to water). This process is called oxidative phosphorylation. If the mitochondria is healthy and working well, up to ~3 ATPs are mde for each oxygen atom reduced.

Does oxygen give us energy?
Yes, but not directly. Your mitochondria must "burn" hydrogen and oxygen to form water AND transfer that energy to ADP in order to form ATP, That energy you can use.
What is the Molar extinction coefficient of ADP?
ATP - 1.54*103 ADP - equals
What produces ATP by blinding phosphate groups to ADP?
ADP is exactly the same as ATP except that ATP has one more phosphate group. (ATP=Adenosine Triphosphate, ADP=Adenosine Diphosphate) This means that adding a phosphate group to ADP would make it ATP simply by definition.
What happens to the breakdown products when ATP is broken into ADP and phosphate in a cell?
The ADP is phosphorylated during respiriation to form new ATP
Is ADP organic or inorganic?
It is organic substance
Does ADP contain oxygen?
Adenosine Diphosphate (or ADP) does contain an oxygen compound. Its molecular formula is C10H15N5O10P2.
Is removing phosphate from ATP to form ADP known as phosphorylation?
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
Does oxygen and phosphate bond together to make ATP?
To make ATP you must add ADP to a reaction. In the reaction ADP will be reduced and the other molecule will be oxidized by breaking the bond between the phosphate group and the oxygen. Your products will be a phosphate group, another molecule, and ATP.
How is a partially charge battery like adp?
Because it can be fully charged by an addition of a phosphate group.
Is the conversion of ADP to ATP reversible?
Yes; when ATP is used up (loses a phosphate group), it can be "re-energized" (phosphorylated) by the addition of a free phosphate. ADP is constantly being made into ATP and ATP is constantly being used up and turned into ADP.
If you run out of oxygen to make energy what happens?
in da muscles energy is used up - ATP is converted to ADP when dere is boatloads of oxygen about, oxygen helps convert ADP back to ATP. but wi'out oxygen the pyruvate g6p product reduces NADH back 2 NAD which can then make bares ATP, no big deal eh?
Which molecule is a product of photosynthesis?
ATP and ADP Sugar
What does the mitochondria work with in the cell?
Oxygen and ADP diffuse in, 2 and 3 carbon chains are folded in to get the hydrogen (for fuel).
What is true about light-dependent?
They produce oxygen gas and convert ADP and NADP+ into energy Carriers ATP and NADPH.
What is the input and output for light reaction?
inputs are light,chlorophyll,water,ADP,NADPH outputs are ATP,NADPH2,oxygen
When adding ATP what happens to cellular respiration?
It should increase in normal people, without impaired ADP for releasing 02 to mitochondria, the powerhouse cell of the body, then recycling ADp to keep the process going. I'm not positive of this.
What is produced by the addition of a phosphate group to a molecule of ADP?
Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) plus a phosphate group forms adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
