Question

Describe the relationship between ATP and ADP and the importance of this relationship within a cell. (10 points)

Answer 1

ATP is the primary energy-carrying molecule in the cell. It acts as a rechargeable battery for cellular processes by carrying energy in the terminal bond of the phosphate molecule and returning to recapture energy when it is used. Without ATP, the cell would die.

Answer 2

Firstly, you should know what ATP is.
ATP is Adenosine Triphosphade
ADP is Adenosine Diphosphate
The prefix, tri and di signify the number of phosphate groups attached onto the nucleoside, which in this case is Adenosine.
it's essentially the one that provides energy and stores it for almost all functions within the cell.
