Usually energy in the body's obtained from converting ATP into ADP. However, glycolysis, the process of converting glucose to pyruvate, releases energy that turns ADP into ATP.

When ATP loses energy it is converted into?

ATP can't lose energy......... because it is energy.


ATP is a molecule that stores in its phosphate bonds.?

ATP stores energy in its phosphate bond. This energy is released when the bond break and ATP is converted into ADP. This energy is used to perform vital functions in an organism.ATP stores energy in its phosphate bond. This energy is released when the bond break and ATP is converted into ADP.

What bond is broken when ATP is converted to ADP and energy is released?

chemical energy


Molecules formed from the breaking off of a phosphate group ATP.?

When a phosphate group breaks off from ATP, it releases energy that is used in cellular processes. The resulting molecule is ADP (adenosine diphosphate). ATP is converted to ADP when energy is needed in the cell, and can be converted back to ATP when energy is stored.


Are ATP and ADP fuels?

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a high-energy molecule that serves as a temporary energy storage in cells and fuels cellular processes. ADP (adenosine diphosphate) is the product formed when ATP is broken down to release energy. While ATP is a fuel for cellular activities, ADP is the result of ATP breakdown and needs to be converted back to ATP to be used as a source of energy.


What is ATP when is energy released from it?

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is converted to ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) when the 3rd phosphate bond is broken to release energy.


What is the role ATP and ADP play in cells?

ATP is the energy currency of cells, storing and transferring energy within the cell for various metabolic activities. When ATP is used, it is converted to ADP, releasing energy that can be harnessed by the cell for various processes. ADP can then be recycled back into ATP through processes like cellular respiration.


Why is ATP often thought of as rechargeable battery?

Because ATP stores energy and releases it turning into ADP in the process. This ADP is then converted back to ATP by the cells so that its energy is ready when required, just like a rechargeable battery.


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


When a muscle cell demands energy to contract what happens to ATP?

ATP is broken down to release energy needed for muscle contraction. This process is called ATP hydrolysis, where ATP is converted into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate, releasing energy in the process.


How does a molecule of ATP convert to ADP?

ATP is converted to ADP when it is used for energy. This can happen during many activities of the cell including replication or transcription of DNA or for "pumping" molecules in and out of the cell against the ion gradient through channels in the bilipid layer.


How is ATP different from ADP?

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a multifunctional nucleotide that is most important as a "molecular currency"of intracellular energy transfer. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP), a nucleotide, is an important part of photosynthesis and glycolysis. ADP can be converted into ATP and is also the low energy molecule. ATP is the breakdown of food molecules. ATP is high energy bond as compared to ADP. ATP has three phosphate bonds and ADP has two phosphate bonds. Rest of the structure is common to both.
