Question

The energy required for the mechanism of "active transport" comes from: 1.the reactants which yield ATP 2. the product of ATP decomposition 3. photosynthesis 4. cytokinesis

Answer 1

Answer: 2. the product of ATP decomposition

Step-by-step explanation:

The Adenosine triphospahte ATP is an energy currency made up,of 3 phospahte ions bonded to adenosine molecule

Each of these inorganic ions is bonded to Adenosine molecule by certain bond energy.Therefore the hydrolysis of these phosphate ions release equal amount of ENERGY of value

ATP HYDROLYSIS ADP + P(ions)

(30,5kj/mol) of energy for the first 2 inorganic phosphate hydrolysed, and 14.2kjmol for the last inorganic phosphate.
