May 1, 2010 at 18:43 comment added user2734 @Qiaochu Yuan: Thanks for making it an answer! One connection between representable functors and adjoint functors is that if a functor $G$ has a left adjoint then it is surely representable: Saying that a functor $G$ is representable is like saying that there is a universal arrow from a one-object set $1$ to $G$ (Prop. 3.2.2, p. 60 in Mac Lane), and for this we can take the unit $\eta_1\colon 1\to G(F1)$ (with $F$ the left adjoint of $G$). For a condition for the opposite direction, see Ex. 1, p. 131 of Mac Lane.
