ATP can convert to ADP during what?

Phosphorylation. It can be done by direct transfer of phosphate group (substrate-level phosphorylation), by the use of proton gradient (oxidative phosphorylation), or by using sunlight (photophosphorylation).


What does cells do with ADP and ATP during cell respiration?

During cellular respiration, cells convert glucose into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to provide energy for various cellular processes. ATP is produced through pathways such as glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. When ATP is used for energy, it is converted into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate. The cycle continues as ADP can be phosphorylated back into ATP, allowing cells to efficiently manage their energy supply.


What molecule is released from the ATP?

ATP becomes energy for the cell and releases ADP.


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 the ATP concentration in a cell about 10 times the concentration of ADP?

The ATP concentration in a cell is about ten times the concentration of ADP because ATP is the immediate energy currency of the cell. It donates energy by means of its terminal phosphate group, which is easily transferred to an acceptor molecule. ATP is formed by the phosphorylation of ADP, an endergonic process that requires an input of energy. So ATP is much more needed in the cell, and the amounts of ADP are always being transferred to ATP for the use of cell.

What do chloroplasts and mitochondris do?

Chloroplasts are structures within the cell of a plant or algae that contain chlorophyll. Chloroplasts and their chlorophyll allow these cells to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates, which plants can then use for energy and as structural components.Mitochondria are structures within a cell that allow the cell to break down certain molecules using oxygen, and to use the energy released from this process to produce ATP from ADP. ATP can then be used to power a cell's physiological processes, and when used, it is converted back to ADP. Then the mitochondria can once again convert the ADP into ATP.

What is ATP why is it important to the cell?

The cell breaks down ATP into ADP and inorganic phospate group. The ADP gives the cells (which make up your body) energy.


How is ADP related to ATP?

it is the ratio of the ADP and ATP produced in a cell, based on the viable conditions of the cell. A proliferating cell produces more ATP than ADP. This even inlcudes cancerous cells that are proliferating out of contorl. Meanwhile, cells that are undergoing apoptosis, or natural programmed cell death, or cells that are undergoing necrosis, or death induced by harsh environmental factors, have more ADP compared to ATP because the cell is not proudcing ATP while hydrolyzing the remaining ATP into ADP. ATP, by the way, is one of the molecules that is used for energy to carry out tasks in cells.


Where can cells regenerate ATP?

Cells reform ATP from ADP and a phosphate in the mitochondria of the cell.


What metabolic reactions occur when a cell uses energy?

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


What happens to adp after atp hydrolysis?

After ATP hydrolysis, ADP is formed as a byproduct. This process releases energy that can be used by the cell for various functions.
