Which statement best describes how the energy stored in ATP is released to drive biochemical reactions?
A. Energy is released when the ribose sugar reacts with oxygen during aerobic respiration.
B. Energy is released when adenine is removed from ribose by dehydration synthesis.
C. Energy is released when a phosphate group is removed by hydrolysis.
Answer (3)
**Answer; **
C. Energy is released when a phosphate group is removed by hydrolysis.
Explanation;
-During cellular respiration chemical energy stored in sugars is converted to ATP. in the form of ATP, the energy can be stored or transported from one part of the cell to another, where it can be released to drive other biochemical reactions.
-The energy stored in ATP at one location is released from ATP when the terminal phosphate bond is broken.
The energy stored in ATP is released when a phosphate group is removed by hydrolysis. ;
The correct statement is that energy is released when a phosphate group is removed by hydrolysis of ATP. This process converts ATP to ADP and releases energy, allowing the cell to perform various biochemical reactions. The reaction can be represented as ATP + H₂O → ADP + Pi + energy.
