|
ATP has less energy than ADP
|
Detailed explanation-1: -ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate. ADP stands for adenosine diphosphate. ATP has three terminal phosphate groups. ADP has only two terminal phosphate groups.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The given statement is false. The difference between ADP and ATP is that ADP has two phosphate molecules, while ATP has three phosphate molecules.
Detailed explanation-3: -ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate. The word triphosphate indicates that the molecule has 3 phosphate groups. ATP stores energy within the bonds between phosphate groups, especially the second and third.
Detailed explanation-4: -ADP consists of three important structural components: a sugar backbone attached to adenine and two phosphate groups bonded to the 5 carbon atom of ribose. The diphosphate group of ADP is attached to the 5’ carbon of the sugar backbone, while the adenine attaches to the 1’ carbon.
