In ATP molecule Adenine is attached to Ribose sugar to which three phosphate molecules are attached. They are high 'energy' bonds formed during biological oxidation of glucose molecule. From ADP you get the ATP molecule. When body needs energy, this ATP is turned into ADP and 'energy' is released. Which is used for various metabolic processes. ADP can turn into AMP in emergency.

What happens when a ATP loses a phosphate group?

It becomes ADP and energy is released


What happens to the ATP after it binds to the protein?

After the ATP passes the high-energy phosphate to the target, it then becomes less energized ADP or adenosine diphosphate. ADP then goes back and becomes re-energized.


What happens when phosphates are broken off of ATP?

When a phosphate group is removed from ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a nucleotide known as ADP (adenosine diphosphate) is formed.


What metabolic reactions occur when a cell uses energy?

ATP releases a phosphate group and becomes ADP ATP = ADP + P + energy.


What happens to an ATP molecule when phosphate is removed?

it becomes ADP. ATP is adenosine triphosphate, while ADP is adenosine diphosphate.


After sunlight hits photosystem 2 what is the best description of what happens?

What is the low energy version of ATP?

The low energy version of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate). The difference is that ATP has three phosphate groups and ADP only has 2.


What molecule is released from the ATP?

ATP becomes energy for the cell and releases ADP.


Does making ADP From ATP require energy?

It requires energy. ADP is adenosine diphosphate and ATP is adenosone triphosphate. Basically, ATP has three phosphate groups (tri-phosphate) and ADP has two (di-phosphate). When ATP releases energy, a phosphate group is detached, forming energy and ADP. Therefore, to get ATP from ADP, energy is required to add one phosphate group onto the ADP.


What happens when ATP gives up one phosphate group?

When ATP gives up one phosphate group, it is converted into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and releases energy that can be used for cellular processes. This process is known as hydrolysis, where the bond between the last phosphate group and the rest of the ATP molecule is broken to release energy.


Compare and contrast ATP and ADP?

The purpose of ATP is to store energy. ATP stands for adenosine tri-phosphate, and the energy is mostly stored in the third phosphate bond. ATP is used by cells 24/7 as a form of energy. The purpose of ADP is to have to potential to store energy. ADP stands for adenosine di-phosphate, and when another phosphate is added onto the molecule it is called ATP and will store energy. When ATP releases energy the third phosphate comes off and it becomes ADP.
