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.

ADP (Adenosine diphosphate) Technically, ATP breaks into ADP and a molecule of inorganic phosphate.


What happens to an ATP molecule when phosphate is removed?

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

What can a molecule of ADP be compared to?

Adenosine diphosphate, abbreviated ADP, is a nucleoside diphosphate. It is an ester ofpyrophosphoric acid with the nucleoside adenosine. ADP consists of the pyrophosphategroup, the pentose sugar ribose, and the nucleobase adenine.ADP is the product of ATP dephosphorylation by ATPases. ADP is converted back to ATP by ATP synthases. ATP is an important energy transfer molecule in cells.So simple answer is: ADP can be compared to ATP.


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.


Is removing phosphate from ATP to form ADP known as phosphorylation?

Phosphorylation is the addition of a phosphate to ADP to form ATP. ADP + P = ATP Dephosphorylation is the removal of a phosphate from ATP to form ADP. ATP - P = ADP


What happens to energy when ATP becomes ADP?

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.


How do you get energy out of ATP?

By losing the last molecule and turning into ADP
