Molecules such as ATP can be broken down into smaller components by the process of
|
|
photosynthesis
|
|
|
hydrolysis
|
|
|
dehydration synthesis
|
|
|
metabolism
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -ATP can be hydrolyzed to ADP and Pi by the addition of water, releasing energy. ADP can be “recharged” to form ATP by the addition of energy, combining with Pi in a process that releases a molecule of water.
Detailed explanation-2: -ADP+Pi+free energy→ATP+H2O. The phosphorylation (or condensation of phosphate groups onto AMP) is an endergonic process. By contrast, the hydrolysis of one or two phosphate groups from ATP, a process called dephosphorylation, is exergonic.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis Is a Central ATP-producing Pathway During glycolysis, a glucose molecule with six carbon atoms is converted into two molecules of pyruvate, each of which contains three carbon atoms.
