Detailed explanation-1: -ADP contains more potential energy than ATP. Following hydrolysis, ATP can give off one phosphate group and usable energy, whereas ADP cannot. The energy produced by ATP comes from the breaking of the bond between two phosphate groups.
Detailed explanation-2: -ATP is comprised of a nucleotide, a five-carbon sugar, and three phosphate groups. The bonds that connect the phosphates (phosphoanhydride bonds) have high-energy content.
Detailed explanation-3: -The breakdown of one glucose molecule is enough to make around 38 molecules of ATP. So, clearly, glucose has a lot more stored energy than ATP does. However, cellular respiration is a multistep process that takes time and numerous enzymes.
Detailed explanation-4: -ATP (adenosine triphosphate) stores more energy than ADP (adenosine diphosphate). ATP has three phosphate groups with high energy bonds located between each group. ADP has only two phosphate groups.
Detailed explanation-5: -ATP is the most abundant energy-carrying molecule in your body. It harnesses the chemical energy found in food molecules and then releases it to fuel the work in the cell. Think of ATP as a common currency for the cells in your body. The food you eat is digested into small subunits of macronutrients.
