ATP or adenosine triphosphate.
When ADP, adenosine diphosphate, gets a third phosphate group, it becomes ATP. ATP is the energy source of many reactions in the cell. When a reaction needs energy to occur, the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction also cleaves a molecule of ATP into ADP and phosphate. The energy of the phosphate bond is used to fuel the endothermic reaction. The ATP is regenerated (phosphorylation of ADP) in the glycolysis or another process that generates energy.
When ADP gains a phosphate to form ATP, energy is stored in the newly formed ATP molecule. ATP acts as a universal energy carrier in cells, providing energy for various cellular processes. This conversion is driven by cellular respiration, where energy is released and stored in ATP for the cell to use as needed.
ATP synthase
The enzyme that adds a phosphate group to ADP to form ATP is ATP synthase. This process occurs during oxidative phosphorylation in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
When the terminal phosphate bond of ATP is broken, it releases energy in the form of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and an inorganic phosphate (Pi). This energy is used to drive cellular processes that require energy.
Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) joins with a single phosphate group to form adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
No, oxygen and phosphate do not directly combine to form ATP. ATP is produced through a series of chemical reactions in the mitochondria called cellular respiration, where oxygen is used as a reactant to help generate ATP from the breakdown of glucose or other energy sources.
No, the process of removing phosphate from ATP to form ADP is known as dephosphorylation. Phosphorylation is the process of adding a phosphate group to a molecule.
The process is called phosphorylation. Specifically, when an ADP molecule gains a phosphate group to become ATP through the addition of a phosphate group, it is known as oxidative phosphorylation in cellular respiration.
This process is called phosphorylation.

it becomes ADP. ATP is adenosine triphosphate, while ADP is adenosine diphosphate.
It becomes ADP and energy is released
The release of a phosphate from ATP to form ADP and Pi is an exothermic reaction because it releases energy.
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and ADP (adenosine diphosphate) are both molecules involved in cellular energy metabolism. ATP is the high-energy form that cells use to store and transfer energy, while ADP is the lower-energy form that results from the release of energy when ATP is broken down. The conversion of ATP to ADP releases energy that can be used for various cellular processes.
ADP have two phosphate molecules and ATP have three phosphate molecules in it.
ATP stands for adenosine tri phosphate. ADP stands for adenosine di phosphate. ATP has three phosphate molecules. ADP has only two phosphate molecules.
ADP (adenosine diphosphate) can be converted back to ATP (adenosine triphosphate) by acquiring a phosphate group through cellular processes such as cellular respiration. This conversion allows ADP to store energy temporarily in the form of ATP and release it when needed for various cellular activities.
When a phosphate group is removed from ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a nucleotide known as ADP (adenosine diphosphate) is formed.
