What else can I help you with?
When a molecule of ATP is hydrolyzed which phosphate group is the first to be broken off?
The last of the three PO4 groups is broken off releasing energy.
How many phosphates do ADP?
ADP has two phosphate groups while ATP has three. When one phosphate breaks off of the three it the remaining two become ADP.
What happens directly after ATP is used up?
You make ATP after you "break" the phosphorus group off and produce ADP. You can add another phosphorus group to ADP producing then another ATP.
How is energy stored in an ATP molecule release?
ATP has three phosphate groups attached to the nucleic acid adenosine. The last or third bond has the most energy in it and when it is broken. that energy is used to drive cell activities. It may be helpful to think of ATP as a battery that gets charged, and as soon as it is charged, it can off a spark of energy that can be used to do work in the body.
When you are rested do you have ATP or ADP?
More ADP, as ATP is constantly being used. ATP is being quickly broken down i.e. one phosphate is "ripped off" and used leaving ADP

ADP has two phosphate groups while ATP has three. When one phosphate breaks off of the three it the remaining two become ADP.
How does ATP differ from ADP?
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) has three phosphate groups attached, serving as the cell's primary energy carrier. When one phosphate group is cleaved off, ATP becomes ADP (adenosine diphosphate), releasing energy that cells can utilize for various functions. ADP can be converted back into ATP through cellular respiration processes.
ATP can be broken down into?
ATP stands for Adenosine Triphosphate. When the body breaks up ATP it simply breaks off a single phosphate group creating Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) and energy.
What happens directly after ATP is used up?
You make ATP after you "break" the phosphorus group off and produce ADP. You can add another phosphorus group to ADP producing then another ATP.
What ATP bond is broken to release energy?
ATP stands for Adenosine Tri-Phosphate. This means there are three phosphate groups stuck together on the tail of the molecule. Packing that many negatively charged groups together takes energy which is stored in the structure. When the bond between the second and third phosphates is broken, energy is released and the molecule becomes ADP or Adenosine Di-Phosphate.
How is ADP converted to ATP?
The terminal phosphate group is broken off. The negative charge on the phosphate groups make them willing to separate.

How do cells store and use energy with ATP and ADP molecules?
ATP is adenosine triphosphate, and there are high-energy bonds between the phosphate bonds. ATP has three phosphates branching off of the adenosine in one triphosphate arm. To tap into the energy in ATP cells simply have to break the bonds using enzymes. After the ATP is broken down it will be turned into ADP (adenosin diphosphate)+phosphate, with no bond between the diphosphate and the leftover phosphate.
When you are rested do you have ATP or ADP?
More ADP, as ATP is constantly being used. ATP is being quickly broken down i.e. one phosphate is "ripped off" and used leaving ADP
What happens in the mitochondrian?
ATP, which stands for Adenosine Triphosphate, is what happens inside the Mitochondria. ATP is basically how the Mitochondria creates energy in other words.Tri means three, so there are three phosphate molecules in ATP. in order to create energy, the third phosphose pops off, releasing energy into the cell, and turning ATP into ADP; Adenosine Diphosphate. it then pops back on to create ATP again, which uses less enery than popping off, thus creating the cycle of energy creation.[someone might want to improve this answer]
What about the structure of ATP that makes it useful as the energy currency of cells?
ATP is the acronym for adenosine triphosphate. This compound is a nucleotide that can store large amounts of energy. Cells "run" by using ATP as a fuel source.Adding one P to ADP (which has only 2 phosphates) takes energy which is stored in the last bond. You get this energy by eating food.ATD + P ---> ATPATP minus P = ADP + P + energy.It may be helpful to think of ATP as a battery that gets charged, and as soon as it is charged, it can off a spark of energy that can be used to do work in the body.
