Describe the ADP molecule and its function within a cell. @nerdychick16
Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is formed by the removal of one phosphate from an ATP molecule by enzymes called ATPases. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is an organic molecule involved in the central part of the metabolism of the cell that generates energy. The interconversion of ATP and ADP takes place in various aspects of cellular metabolism. Another process in which ATP and ADP act together to supply energy is in the fast twitch of muscle cells. In mammals, ADP is involved in blood platelet activation, and is stored within platelets. A derivative of ADP is adenosine diphosphate ribose, in which the sugar ribose is linked to the final phosphate of ADP by an ester linkage. http://brainly.com/question/1602055
wow ok one sec let me type in my answer than get back to u XD
lol kk
this is what i wrote up: ADP molecules form when the bond between the second and third phosphate groups breaks in a molecule called ATP. The amount of energy released in the process is surprisingly more that the amount needed to break the bond. This energy released is used to power processes such as movement, active transport, or protein synthesis. I searched a bit for how ADPs are formed but thats it. does it make sense??
yes it does
thx ok NEEEEXXXT XD
