Question

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST IF IT'S CORRECT
Which statement about ATP and energy is true?

a. ADP releases energy as it makes ATP .

B. ADP absorbs energy when it breaks its bonds.

c. ATP releases energy when it converts to ADP .

d. ATP releases energy when it is formed.

Answer 1

Answer: ATP releases energy when it converts to ADP .

Explanation:

During energy needs, the body cells directs the loss of a phosphate group (Pi) from ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) to yeild ADP (adenosine Diphosphate), and a further loss will yield AMP (adenosine monophosphate). For each loss energy is also released when a phosphate is removed

The reaction involves the addition of water, so it is a hydrolytic reaction, and is catalyzed by enzymes of the mitochondria, and is represented as the equation below:

ATP + H2O → ADP + Pi + free energy
