Question

What type of reaction breaks the bonds that join the phosphate groups in an ATP molecule?

A) anabolism
B) hydrolysis
C) dehydration
D) decomposition
E) dehydration
F) synthesis entropic

Answer 1

Hydrolysis.

Step-by-step explanation:

During generation of energy, there is breaking of phosphate bond in the ATP. This breaking of bond is a hydrolysis reaction.

The ATP undergoes hydrolysis, energy is released, and ATP is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate.
