|
Energy is released from ATP when
|
|
a phosphate group is added
|
|
|
adenine bonds to ribose
|
|
|
ATP is exposed to sunlight
|
|
|
a phosphate group is removed
|
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: -Through metabolic processes, ATP becomes hydrolyzed into ADP, or further to AMP, and free inorganic phosphate groups. The process of ATP hydrolysis to ADP is energetically favorable, yielding Gibbs-free energy of-7.3 cal/mol.
