Detailed explanation-1: -Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) is a compound formed after a terminal phosphate bond is broken from another compound called ATP (Adenosine triphosphate). The phosphate bond is high energy bond and a large amount of energy is released during its breakdown.

Detailed explanation-2: -Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is a platelet activator that is released from platelet granules during the formation of a hemostatic plug.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. It has two phosphate groups attached to the nucleoside.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -ADP also called adenosine diphosphate, is a molecule formed in living cells. It is often converted to adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a high-energy molecule used in various biochemical reactions. ADP is made up of adenine (a nucleobase), ribose (a simple sugar), and two phosphate molecules (phosphorous ions).
