Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -ATP hydrolysis is an exergonic process. It produces ADP (Adenosine diphosphate), Pi (inorganic phosphate) and energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -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).
