ATP would be larger, it has one more phosphate.
ADP is ATP - a phosphate, the bond between the 2nd and third is broken to provide cellular energy.

ATP has one more phosphate group than ADP (3 vs. 2), so is a bit larger.

ATP is adenodine tri phosphate which means that it has three phosphates. while ADP is adenodine di phosphate which means that it only has two phosphates. I'm not exactly sure which one is larger, but I am willing to bet that it is the ATP because there are more molecules in that one.

ATP:adenosine triphosphate
ADP:adenosine diphosphate
p:phosphate group
di:means 2
tri:means 3
ATP<->ADP+P
ATP is used for protein sythesis, nerve conduction and muscle contraction
when ATP is dehydated, it breaks into ADP +P+ energy
and the energy obtained from cellular repiration bond ADP+P back into ATP

Larger one's A.T.P.That's because It has an inorganic phosphate more than A.D.P.ATP is Adenosine triphosphate,ADP is Adenosine diphosphate.ATP has more high energy bonds than ADP.Each time the energy bond between the iP (inorganic phosphate) is broken then ATP is converted into ADP.
