Question

What is it called when ADP becomes ATP?

Answer 1

Phosphorylation:

1. ADP is a strong physiological agonist and is necessary for normal hemostasis and thrombosis.
2. Adenosine 5'-triphosphate is the primary molecule for both storing and transferring energy in cells (ATP).
3. ADP is transformed into ATP by a process known as phosphorylation.
4. In a biological process called phosphorylation, phosphate is added to an organic molecule.
5. ATP is created when phosphate and ADP join.
6. In the electron transport chain, for instance, oxidative phosphorylation.
