The diagram shows the structure of adenosine diphosphate (ADP). What describes the conversion of ADP to ATP?
a. an input of energy as both phosphate groups detach.
b. a release of energy as one phosphate group detaches.
c. a release of energy as a third phosphate group is attached.
d. an input of energy to attach a third phosphate group.

Respuesta :

In the initial stages of photosynthesis, a process known as photophosphorylation uses solar energy to convert ADP to ATP.

How is adenosine diphosphate ADP different from ATP in terms of structure?

ADP will include two phosphate groups (thus the diphosphate), whereas ATP will still contain all three phosphates. This is the primary structural difference between adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) (hence the triphosphate). When ATP's one phosphate group is hydrolyzed, ADP is produced.

Does ATP undergo oxidation or reduction to become ADP?

The phosphate group, which has available electrons, transfers electrons during the conversion of ATP to ADP. An oxidation reaction occurs when a phosphate group in ATP is removed; this process also removes electrons.
