ATP hydrolysis is ____
|
|
energy releasing
|
|
|
energy absorbing
|
|
|
anabolic
|

|
dehydration synthesis reaction
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -ATP hydrolysis releases the energy present in the high-energy terminal phosphate bonds, which is utilised to carry out various cellular reactions, such as muscle contraction, carbon fixation, etc. Various reactions are coupled with ATP hydrolysis. ATP hydrolysis is an exergonic process.
Detailed explanation-2: -ATP hydrolysis releases energy because the products are more stable than the reactants.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hydrolysis reactions break bonds and release energy. Biological macromolecules are ingested and hydrolyzed in the digestive tract to form smaller molecules that can be absorbed by cells and then further broken down to release energy.
