Question

ATP is converted into ADP when energy is needed by an organism. If water were not available in the mitochondria, what would most likely happen?

Answer 1

Hydrolysis is unable to occur to split ATP, meaning the cell would not be able to take in energy. 

Answer 2

In absence of ATP hydrolysis, energy would not be available to the cells of the organisms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion of ATP to ADP is a hydrolytic reaction where in addition of one molecule of water to ATP breaks it down into ADP and inorganic phosphate. The energy released during the breaking of the bond is used by cells to perform other functions. In the absence of water, ATP hydrolysis would not occur and cells would not be able to use the energy of ATP.
