Question

which compound is produced when one phosphate group is removed from an atp molecule?
o ribose
o adenosine diphosphate (adp)
o adenine
o adenosine monophosphate (amp)

Explanation:

ATP (adenosine tri - phosphate) has three phosphate groups. When one phosphate group is removed from ATP by hydrolysis, ADP (adenosine diphosphate) is formed. If another phosphate is removed from ADP, AMP (adenosine monophosphate) is produced. Adenine is a nitrogen - containing base and ribose is a sugar. When one phosphate is removed from ATP, ADP is the product.

Answer:

adenosine diphosphate (ADP)
