What is the full balanced equation of the conversion of ADP to ATP (and vice versa)?
Both ADP + Pi --> ATP and ATP + H2O --> ADP + Pi seems incomplete. The chemical formula of ATP is C10H16N5O13P3 while that of ADP is C10H15N5O10P2. When put into the above equations, they do not balance. Is phosphoric acid involved.
The equations were mentioned in Biology textbooks when talking about aerobic respiration in animals and photosynthesis in plants, and I got more confused when I looked for the formulas.

I can not answer your question but let me tell you this- you wont ever need a full balanced equation of the conversion of ADP to ATP. These are organic reactios involving macromolecules (the reactions are catalysed by enzymes which are also really complex chemicals) and multiple steps so no one ever bothers with balancing. Trust me balancing them is absolutely unnecessary. Don't trouble yourself with it.But if you still want trouble then trouble yourself with this

Yep you can!And while answering any question or discussing anything related to oxidative phosporylation you can use above (basic) equation as reference. Also if you are grade 11 or above you may as well do some digging about this glycolysis, kreb's cycle & phosporylation.
