Resource summary
ADP and ATP
Structure
ADP
Two Phosphate groups
Ribose sugar
Adenine base
ATP
Adenine base
Ribose sugar
Three phosphate groups
Uses
Active Transport across membranes
Provides energy for carrier proteins to change shape and transport substances against gradient
Muscles
Provides energy for muscles to contract
Phosphorylation
1) ATP is synthesised from ADP and inorganic phosphate, using energy from energy releasing reactions
2) The ADP is phosphorylated to form ATP and a phosphate bond
3) The energy is stored in this bond. When this energy is needed, the ATP breaks down to ADP and an inorganic phosphate
