Question

How is ADP converted to ATP?
A. by the addition of one adenosine molecule
B. by the addition of one phosphate group
C.by the removal of one adenosine molecule
D.by the removal of one phosphate group

Answer 1

b. by addition of one phosphate group...!

Answer 2

ADP is converted to ATP B. by the addition of one phosphate group.

ATP:

• Adenosine triphosphate, a hydrotrope and organic compound, drives a number of biological processes in living cells, including as muscle contraction, transmission of nerve impulses, dissolution of condensate, and chemical synthesis.
• Adenosine triphosphate is used and stored as energy at the cellular level (ATP).
• The nucleoside triphosphate ATP is composed of adenine, ribose, and three serially bonded phosphate groups.
• ATP can be taken out and utilized to power processes when the cell requires energy or it can be saved for use in subsequent processes.
• Animals use ATP to store the energy expended when digesting food.
• Similar to this, plants store the energy they get from light during photosynthesis in ATP molecules.
