I have already read other open study questions of the exact same thing, but i got it wrong when i put D as the answer. So it is definitely not D.

anonymous · Answer

i thought it was D too.. wth?  hmm maybe @Calliope knows..

anonymous · Answer

D appears to be correct.

ATP is Adenosine Triphosphate, and ADP is Adenosine Diphosphate. To go from three phosphate groups (triphosphate) to two phosphate groups (diphosphate), you need to remove a phosphate group. That means C, for example, cannot possibly be correct. A can be ruled out for similar reasons.

Adding a phosphate group to ADP requires energy, and removing the phosphate group releases that energy. The energy released by splitting ATP into ADP and a phosphate group is used to drive many different chemical reactions in cells.

alright... i will put D. It tells me if i got it wrong as soon as i submit.
