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 is the structure different between ATP and ADP?

ATP stands for adenosine tri phosphate. ADP stands for adenosine di phosphate. ATP has three phosphate molecules. ADP has only two phosphate molecules.


How do ADP and ATP differ in the number of phosphate molecules?

ADP have two phosphate molecules and ATP have three phosphate molecules in it.


When ATP molecules gain phosphates they become ATP molecules?

yes ADP + iP ----- ATP


How are adp and ATP molecules the same?

ATP and ADP are similar in the sense that they are both molecules that release energy to the cells. ADP differs from ATP because it has one less phosphate group. ADP forms after ATP has released energy.

How many ADP are required in glucose?

Adenosine Diphosphate that is ADP is a product of ATP that is Adenosine triphosphate. When ATP breaks down it gives ATP = ADP + iP (phosphate group) Actually 36 ATP molecules are required in Glucose


When ADP molecules gain phosphates do they become ATP molecules?

Yes, when ADP (adenosine diphosphate) gains a phosphate group, it becomes ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This process is part of cellular respiration and is known as phosphorylation. ATP is the primary energy carrier molecule in cells.


Cells get energy to build molecules from ADP and?

cells get energy to build molecules from ADP and ATP through the process of cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, energy stored in ATP is released and used to power cellular activities such as building molecules. ADP is converted back to ATP through processes like oxidative phosphorylation to ensure a continuous supply of energy for cell functions.


When energy is used ATP molecules convert to ADP molecules this is called?

The process is called Dephosphorylation.


What process provides the energy to make ATP from ADP?

the breakdown of food molecules


What provided the energy used to make ATP from ADP?

the breakdown of food molecules


What is the relationship between ADP and Atp?

Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) has a structure that is similar to that of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP); the only difference is that ADP has two phosphate groups instead of three. When a Cell has energy available, it can store significant amounts of energy by adding a phosphate group to the ADP molecules producing ultra-energy rich ATP.
