Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
ATP hydrolysis is ____
A
energy releasing
B
energy absorbing
C
anabolic
D
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 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-3: -One reason for the amount of energy released is that hydrolysis relieves the electron-electron repulsions experienced by the negatively charged phosphate groups when they are bonded to each other (Figure 20.3 “Hydrolysis of ATP to Form ADP").
