Answer:

ADP and inorganic phosphate.

Step-by-step explanation:

ATP ( adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the living cells. ATP is used as an energy providing molecule and used in the transportation of molecules inside the living organism.

The hydrolysis of ATP is done during various cellular process. The breakdown of ATP yield the adenosine diphosphate. The inorganic phosphate is also released as by product during the hydrolysis of the adenosine triphosphate molecule.

Thus, the answer is ADP and inorganic phosphate.

The given blank can be filled with adenosine diphosphate.

ATP hydrolysis refers to the catabolic reaction procedure by which the chemical energy, which has been accumulated in the high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds in ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is discharged by dissociating these bonds, for example, in muscles, by generating work in the form of mechanical energy.
