In the ATP/ADP cycle, what causes energy to be released?
|
|
The breaking of the bond between the 5-carbon sugar and the 1st phosphate group
|
|
|
The addition of a phosphate group
|
|
|
The removal of a phosphate group
|

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -When one phosphate group is removed by breaking a phosphoanhydride bond in a process called hydrolysis, energy is released, and ATP is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Likewise, energy is also released when a phosphate is removed from ADP to form adenosine monophosphate (AMP).
