Question

A scientist observed that during the course of a chemical reaction number of ATP molecules was reduced what did the scientist most likely learn from the observation

Answer 1

The reaction required an input of energy.

Answer 2

The observed chemical reaction is endergonic.

Step-by-step explanation:

The endergonic chemical reactions are the one that need input of energy. Their products have higher energy content than the substrates. ATP is the energy currency of cells and serves as energy source for endergonic reactions. Hence, consumption of ATP during the endergonic chemical reaction reduces ATP concentration in the system.
