BeauATP is produced by binding phosphate groups to ADP through a process called phosphorylation, which occurs during cellular respiration in mitochondria. The energy released from breaking down food molecules is used to add phosphate groups to ADP, forming ATP as the primary energy currency of the cell.

ATP has 3 phosphate groups how many phosphate groups in ADP?
Two, as it now becomes adenosine diphosphate. when it has three it is adenosine triphosphate.
How many phosphate groups are found in ADP?
There are three phosphate groups in an ATP molecule. Go on to Google images and type in ATP or adenosine triphosphate. Look for a picture that contains chemical symbols and lines. Now, commonly on the right hand side you will see the bulk of the picture. On the left should be a line with P's and O's in the middle of it. The P's of course are the phosphates. The P closest to the bulk is called the alpha phosphate. then working out you have the beta phosphate and then the gamma phosphate. The symbols for these phosphates are the Greek letters for Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.
What compound when hydrolyzed produces ADP inorganic phosphate and energy?
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the compound that, when hydrolyzed, produces ADP (adenosine diphosphate), inorganic phosphate, and energy. This process involves the breaking of one phosphate group from ATP to form ADP and release energy that can be used by cells for various physiological processes.
What do the prefixes di and tri reveal about the chemical compositions of ADP and ATP?
The prefixes "di" and "tri" in ADP and ATP indicate the number of phosphate groups they each contain. ADP (adenosine diphosphate) has two phosphate groups, while ATP (adenosine triphosphate) has three phosphate groups. This reflects the different energy-carrying capacities of the molecules, with ATP having higher energy potential due to its additional phosphate group.
Is ADP organic or inorganic?
ADP (adenosine diphosphate) is an organic molecule. It is a nucleotide composed of adenine, ribose sugar, and two phosphate groups. It is a crucial intermediate in cellular energy metabolism.
