What do the prefixes ''di'' and ''tri'' tell you abut the chemical compostion of ADP and ATP?

Question

breifly plz

Answer 1

"Di" means 2 phosphates are attached.
"Tri" means 3 phosphates are attached.

ADP is able to add one more phosphate with a high energy bond to store more energy.

ATP is a high-energy storage molecule in your body.

Answer 2

Yeah, the other person is right.
ADP has 2 phosphates, then it goes through some sort of cycle and gets another phosphate and comes out as ATP, which is energy, I think.

Answer 3

Im like 90% its has to do with phosphates.

Adenine di phosphate 2 phosphates
and Adeninetriphosphate 3 phosphates!

Im pretty sure

Answer 4

di means 2 and tri means 3 with anything not nessicarily just with adp and atp...adp=adenodiphosphate....2 phosphates atp=adenotriphosphate 3 phosphates

Answer 5

it is the number of phosphates in each of the molecules. tri-phosphate has three phosphates and when it loses the one phosphate for the energy it remains as di-phosphate. you do know there is also monophosphate? which has the one phosphate only

Answer 6

it tells you, the number of phosporic links of inorganic phosphate (pi) linked to the molecule of adenosine, ( ubiquitous nucleoside)
ATP or adenosine triphosphate, will be Adenosin -Phospate-Pi-Pi
So it has three phosphorus high energy atoms attached to it.
ADP or adenosin diphosphate will be Adenosine-Pi-Pi (two atoms of active phosphorus attached to it.
AMP or adenosin monophosphate will be:
Adenosine plus ONE atom of Phosphate attached to it...
Once the phosphate attached to the adenosine molecule is separated or ruptured, energy from the phosphate, will help releasing energy in the cell, to carry out essential living processes (respiration, , protein synthesis etc)

Answer 7

Let's think about other words you know, like

Carbon DIoxide

And TRIcycle
