ADP and ATP
  1. Structure
    1. ADP
      1. Two Phosphate groups
        1. Ribose sugar
          1. Adenine base
          2. ATP
            1. Adenine base
              1. Ribose sugar
                1. Three phosphate groups
              2. Uses
                1. Active Transport across membranes
                  1. Provides energy for carrier proteins to change shape and transport substances against gradient
                  2. Muscles
                    1. Provides energy for muscles to contract
                  3. Phosphorylation
                    1. 1) ATP is synthesised from ADP and inorganic phosphate, using energy from energy releasing reactions
                      1. 2) The ADP is phosphorylated to form ATP and a phosphate bond
                        1. 3) The energy is stored in this bond. When this energy is needed, the ATP breaks down to ADP and an inorganic phosphate
