On the Wikipedia article about pyrophosphate, it states that:
The group (pyrophosphate) is also called diphosphate or dipolyphosphate.
But for example, why is ADP apparently called adenosine diphosphate but not adenosine pyrophosphate? The same for geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP) instead of geranyl diphosphate? In which context the terms diphosphate and pyrophosphate are used?
