Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Answer and Explanation: When one of the phosphates is removed, the energy stored in the covalent bond is released, and the cell is able to do work. The molecule that is left over is called adenosine diphosphate, or ADP. There are two phosphates left attached to the adenine group.
Detailed explanation-3: -ATP can be hydrolyzed to ADP and Pi by the addition of water, releasing energy. ADP can be “recharged” to form ATP by the addition of energy, combining with Pi in a process that releases a molecule of water.
Detailed explanation-4: -When ATP loses one phosphate group it becomes ADP or adenosine diphosphate.
