PICTURE adenosine triphosphate (ATP) A common form in which energy is stored in living systems; consists of a nucleotide (with ribose sugar) with three phosphate groups. The energy coin of the cell. PICTURE
A compound consisting of adenosine with two phosphate groups attached.
A compound of adenosine containing two phosphate groups, ADP is used to synthesize ATP with the energy released in cell respiration. When ATP is used for cellular activities, ADP is re-formed.
Adenosine diphosphate, abbreviated ADP, is a nucleotide. It is an ester of pyrophosphoric acid with the nucleotide adenine. ADP consists of the pyrophosphate group, the pentose sugar ribose, and the nucleobase adenine.
