Due to the number of phosphate groups, ATP has approximately three times more energy stored than AMP, and ADP has approximately two-thirds the energy stored of ATP.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ATP, ADP, and AMP differ in the number of phosphate groups, but the energy difference is not directly proportional to the number of phosphates. ATP has high energy due to the bonds between its phosphate groups, but ADP does not have exactly two-thirds the energy of ATP, nor does ATP have three times the energy of AMP.

Due to the Number of Phosphate Groups, ATP Has Approximately
