Wouldn't you need an ATP to actually add the P to ADP?
...So then nothing would really be accomplished because you'd have to use an ATP to make a different ATP.
Or is there a different type of energy that can add P to ADP?
My book says that the ADP + P reaction uses energy from catabolism (energy-releasing processes)...
So what other type of energy makes ADP join with P?
...And now that I think of it, it doesn't really make sense that an ADP + P reaction could use ATP because then ADP would already be phosphorylated... and wouldn't need that P reactant.
Thanks for the help! :)
