ATP and ADP: Which Molecule Recharges the Dead Battery with Chemical Energy?
ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is like a rechargeable battery for cells. It stores energy and releases it when a phosphate group is removed. ADP, or adenosine diphosphate, can be recharged using energy from glucose breakdown. This process enables cells to perform essential work efficiently. ADP can be thought of as the depleted battery in this … Read more
