Respuesta :


the breakdown of food molecules

Answer:

Option A, the break down of food molecule

Explanation:

During hydrolysis of ATP, 1 molecule of phosphate is released  and ADP is formed

The hydrolysis of  ATP to produce ADP is a reversible reaction and thus ADP uses the extra energy with in the cell to convert back to ADP. This extra energy comes from the food break down.  

The reactions involved are as follows  

Hydrolysis of ATP  

ATP  ----> ADP + P + energy

Formation of ATP from ADP

ADP + P + energy -------->  ATP
