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: -When ADP is broken down into ATP, energy is released. 3. ATP is synthesized by the cell through cell respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -When ATP, the energy currency of the cell is hydrolysed to form ADP and inorganic phosphate it releases energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Conversion of ATP to ADP takes place when the carbohydrate is formed. Reduction of carbon to form intermediate carbohydrate compounds and finally to glucose requires energy. This energy is obtained from ATP molecules by breaking the energy-rich phosphate bonds, thus resulting in the production of ADP.
