Question

Energy is released to be used by a cell when a phosphate group is
a. removed from ADP to form ATP
b. added to ADP to form ATP
c. removed from ATP to for ADP
d. added to ATP to form ADP

I'm thinking it's C but I don't know

Answer 1

@Jmmm

Answer 2

c.removed from ATP to form ADP

Answer 3

okay can you help me with a couple more? @Jmmm

Answer 4

i only have 6 minutes

Answer 5

I'm kind of confused on the difference between the two (ATP and ADP)

Describe the relationship between ATP and ADP and the importance of this relationship within a cell.

Answer 6

Oh okay

Answer 7

Adenosine TRI phosphate (ATP) is just like adenosine DI phosphate (ADP), except that ATP has a third phosphate group stuck on the end of the molecule.

Think about what that phosphate group does for the molecule. Phosphates are big, bulky moieties, so it is difficult to cram a third group onto an ADP molecule that already has two. Also, they have a strong net negative charge - so that makes it doubly hard to push negative charges together. So the bond between the third phosphate group and the rest of the ATP molecule is very high energy - it takes a lot of energy to form it. And when it breaks all that energy is released...
