ATP synthase catalyzes the addition of a phosphate group to an ADP molecule.

ADP + ATP synthase + P --> ATP + ATP synthase

(ATP synthase on both sides of the equation indicates that, as an enzyme, it is not used up in the reaction.)

it adds a phosphate group Phosphorylation is the addition of a phosphate (PO43−) group to a protein or other organic molecule.


Is an addition of a phosphate group called oxidation?

No, the addition of a phosphate group is not called oxidation. Oxidation involves the loss of electrons by a molecule, while adding a phosphate group is a form of phosphorylation, which involves attaching a phosphate group to another molecule.


What spins to provide the energy for adding phosphate group to ADP?

A protein called ATP synthase.


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 spins to provide energy for adding a phosphate group to ADP?

ATP synthase enzyme spins in the inner membrane of mitochondria to provide energy for adding a phosphate group to ADP, converting it to ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. The spinning is driven by the flow of protons through the enzyme complex.

What are three parts of a APT molecule?

Three parts of an APT molecule are the base, sugar, and phosphate group. The base can be adenine, guanine, cytosine, or thymine. The sugar is a ribose or deoxyribose molecule, and the phosphate group provides the backbone structure of the molecule.
