Question

The structure of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is shown here. Which statement best explains how energy stored in the chemical bonds of ATP can be released.

Answer 1

When the bond between the second and third phosphate is broken down in different cellular processes huge amount of energy like 7.3 K cal is released.

Step-by-step explanation:

• ATP is the energy currency for the cells. Cells produce this currency in mitochondria via respiration.
• As the energy is stored in the electrons involved in the boding between Gama phosphate and beta phosphate.
• Formation of this energy requires a huge amount of energy and its breakdown also release that energy.
