ATP ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which process removes a phosphate from ATP?
A
hydrolysis
B
dehydration synthesis
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 ).

Detailed explanation-2: -The bonds of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) can be broken through the addition of water, releasing one or two phosphate groups in an exergonic process called hydrolysis.

Detailed explanation-3: -ATP hydrolysis is the catabolic reaction process by which chemical energy that has been stored in the high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is released after splitting these bonds, for example in muscles, by producing work in the form of mechanical energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -In biochemistry, dephosphorylation is the removal of a phosphate (PO43−) group from an organic compound by hydrolysis.

Detailed explanation-5: -When ATP is hydrolyzed, its gamma phosphate doesn’t simply float away, but is actually transferred onto the pump protein. This process of a phosphate group binding to a molecule is called phosphorylation. As with most cases of ATP hydrolysis, a phosphate from ATP is transferred onto another molecule.
