Not sure what your question is

But a receptor attaches to the membrane

This activates something, leading to

ATP getting cleaved from the arrested G-protein complex leaving ADP and Pi; there's the alpha, beta, and gamma subunits. One of the subunits activated by the removal of ATP travels to the place where the reaction occurs and provides some type of signal leading to a cAMP cascade

Edit: I meant GTP not ATP and GDP not ADP
