Electricity is added to recharge a battery. What is added to ADP to form ATP? A.) A second ribose group B.) A third phosphate group C.) A third ribose group D.) A second phosphate group

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well think. the D means Di (two), and the T means Tri (three). and the P means Phosphate. so if you go from 2 to 3 phosphates you must be adding another phosphate.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That Confused me.... lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's important to understand what each of the letters mean in these abbreviations. sometimes it makes sense when you read the whole thing out. DP in ADP means DiPhosphate, and TP in ATP means TriPhosphate. Di is another way of saying 2 and Tri is another way of saying 3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am honestly still confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if ur going from a compo nd with 2 phosphates to a compound with 3 phosphates. you must be adding a phosphate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So It Would Be B ? I Think That Is Right ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So Confused.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
