Question

what is the diffrence between atp and adp

Answer 1

ADP = Adenosine di-phosphate
ATP = Adenosine tri-phosphate

basically ATP has one more phosphate group than ADP, and because ATP has one more phosphate group than ADP, it contains more potential energy because more bonds could be broken

ATP forms ADP when it breaks a phosphate group to utilize its bond energy to do work, and ADP forms AMP (adenosine mono-phosphate)

Answer 2

They basically have the same goal in a cell, to make energy. But atp has more potential energy than ADP because ATP has more phosphate group than ADP.

Hence: ATP stands for "Adenosine tri-phosphate" tri means three.
When the ATP breaks a phosphate group, it becomes ADP. ADP stands for "Adenosine di-phosphate" Di means twice . Less phosphate group.

Answer 3

thank you so much
