The biggest difference between ATP and ADP is that ADP contains 2 phosphates. ATP contains 3 phosphates. ADP means adenine di-phosphate and ATP means adenine tri-phosphate.
no! atp stores more! :)
ATP is more energitic than ADP because ATP has 3 high energy phosphet bonds out of which 3rd phosphate bond have highest energy which is not present in ADP (2 phosphate bonds)
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a multifunctional nucleotide that is most important as a "molecular currency"of intracellular energy transfer. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP), a nucleotide, is an important part of photosynthesis and glycolysis. ADP can be converted into ATP and is also the low energy molecule. ATP is the breakdown of food molecules. ATP is high energy bond as compared to ADP. ATP has three phosphate bonds and ADP has two phosphate bonds. Rest of the structure is common to both.
ATP is a molecule with three phosphate groups attached to a DNA base (A). the third and second phosphate are often removed in chemical reactions and the energy released from breaking these bonds is carefully channelled to catalyse other chemical reactions in the cell. ATP is also kept away from equilibrium of its chemical reaction, meaning in the cells there are many more molecules of ATP products made when phosphates are removed to give ADP or AMP: ATP <-----> ADP + Phosphate ATP <-----> AMP + Di phosphate (2 phosphates) By the cell maintaining ATP at high concentrations and ADP and AMP at low concentrations the energy released from breaking ATP down to ADP or AMP is much larger than if there were equal amounts of ATP, ADP and AMP. This is why ATP is said to contain energy, like pushing a Bowling ball to the top of a hill and then letting it roll down ATP releases energy when it is turned into its products.
More ADP, as ATP is constantly being used. ATP is being quickly broken down i.e. one phosphate is "ripped off" and used leaving ADP

adp+p(i)--->atp ADP +P ---> ATP

ADP is exactly the same as ATP except that ATP has one more phosphate group. (ATP=Adenosine Triphosphate, ADP=Adenosine Diphosphate) This means that adding a phosphate group to ADP would make it ATP simply by definition.
Phosphorylation is the addition of a phosphate to ADP to form ATP. ADP + P = ATP Dephosphorylation is the removal of a phosphate from ATP to form ADP. ATP - P = ADP
ATP is the energy molecule that gives energy to the cells while ADP has one less phosphate group and contains more potential energy because more bonds could be broken.
ATP has much more energy than ADP because it has one more phosphate bond which contains energy.
ATP is more energitic than ADP because ATP has 3 high energy phosphet bonds out of which 3rd phosphate bond have highest energy which is not present in ADP (2 phosphate bonds)
ADP has less potential energy than ATP has. In fact, there are 7.3 kc less energy in ADP than in ATP.
ATP has three phosphate groups (adenosine TRIphosphate) while ADP has only two (adenosine DIphosphate). ATP has more free energy due to this extra phosphate group (has an extra bond).
it is the ratio of the ADP and ATP produced in a cell, based on the viable conditions of the cell. A proliferating cell produces more ATP than ADP. This even inlcudes cancerous cells that are proliferating out of contorl. Meanwhile, cells that are undergoing apoptosis, or natural programmed cell death, or cells that are undergoing necrosis, or death induced by harsh environmental factors, have more ADP compared to ATP because the cell is not proudcing ATP while hydrolyzing the remaining ATP into ADP. ATP, by the way, is one of the molecules that is used for energy to carry out tasks in cells.
