Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
ADP is an abbreviation for:
A
aniline diphosphate.
B
adenine diphosphate.
C
adenosine diphosphate.
D
adenosine triphosphate.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is a platelet activator that is released from platelet granules during the formation of a hemostatic plug.

Detailed explanation-2: -Expansion of the abbreviation ADP is Adenosine Diphosphate.

Detailed explanation-3: -If a cell needs to spend energy to accomplish a task, the ATP molecule splits off one of its three phosphates, becoming ADP (Adenosine di-phosphate) + phosphate. The energy holding that phosphate molecule is now released and available to do work for the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -It means it has a ribose as its sugar and two phosphate groups attached. Its nucleoside contains a purine base, i.e. an adenine attached to the ribose sugar.

Detailed explanation-5: -ADP is adenosine diphosphate. ADP is important for releasing and storing energy within an organism.
