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 is left after ATP molecule loses a phosphate molecule?

Adenosine diphosphate. ADP. Two phosphate groups.


Which molecules are contained in both ATP and 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.


How many phosphate groups are found in ADP?

There are three phosphate groups in an ATP molecule. Go on to Google images and type in ATP or adenosine triphosphate. Look for a picture that contains chemical symbols and lines. Now, commonly on the right hand side you will see the bulk of the picture. On the left should be a line with P's and O's in the middle of it. The P's of course are the phosphates. The P closest to the bulk is called the alpha phosphate. then working out you have the beta phosphate and then the gamma phosphate. The symbols for these phosphates are the Greek letters for Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.


ATP has 3 phosphate groups how many phosphate groups in ADP?

Two, as it now becomes adenosine diphosphate. when it has three it is adenosine triphosphate.


When a phosphate group is removed from an ATP molecule what type of molecule is formed?

when a phosphate group is removed from ATP energy is released and the molecule ADP is formed.


What bond in ATP breaks to release energy during the formation of ADP?

The major molecule involved in energy release and storage is ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE. It contains a large ADENOSINE molecule connected to three PHOSPHATE groups via PHOSPHATE bond. When the bond that connects one of the three PHOSPHATE groups to the ADENOSINE molecule is broken down, energy is released. The resulting molecule would be ADENOSINE DIPHOSPHATE, one free PHOSPHATE group and energy.


How do ADP and ATP differ in structure?

ADP i.e. Adenosine Diphosphate, is comprised of one molecule of adenosine combined with only two phosphate groups hence the suffix 'Di'; while ATP i.e. Adenosine Triphosphate involves the inclusion of another phosphate group making it one molecule of adenosine attached to three phosphate groups, hence the suffix 'Tri'.


The energy of the Atp molecule is stored within which phosphate groups?

The energy of the ATP molecule is mainly stored in the high-energy bonds of the outermost phosphate group, known as the gamma phosphate group. When this phosphate group is hydrolyzed, releasing energy, it forms ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate.


What does a ADP molecule look like?

An ADP molecule is composed of three phosphate groups, a ribose sugar, and an adenine base. It appears as a nucleotide with two phosphate groups attached to the ribose sugar. ADP stands for adenosine diphosphate.


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.
