In biology, what is ADP?
What happens when there is an excess of ADP in a cell?
When there is an excess of ADP in a cell, it signals to the cell that energy demand is higher than energy supply. This, in turn, activates various pathways to increase the production of ATP to meet the demand. Such pathways include the activation of glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, leading to increased glucose breakdown and ATP synthesis.
