Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When ATP is converted to ADP
A
an oxygen atom is released
B
energy is stored
C
a phosphate group is released
D
a bond is created
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).

Detailed explanation-2: -ATP breakdown into ADP and Pi is called hydrolysis because it consumes a water molecule (hydro-, meaning “water”, and lysis, meaning “separation”). Figure 7.6. 1: Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP): ATP is the primary energy currency of the cell. It has an adenosine backbone with three phosphate groups attached.

Detailed explanation-3: -ATP when changed to a compound called adenosine diphosphate (ADP) releases energy for biological work in a cell. ADP can be changed to ATP, but this reaction requires energy. During cell respiration, energy made available from the breakdown of glucose is used to change ADP to ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -The pyrophosphate bond, symbolized by a squiggle ( ), is hydrolyzed when ATP is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP). In this hydrolysis reaction, the products contain less energy than the reactants; there is a release of energy (> 7 kcal/mol).

Detailed explanation-5: -ADP is combined with a phosphate to form ATP in the reaction ADP+Pi+free energy
