During active transport, ATP is hydrolyzed into ADP and one inorganic phosphate; more importantly, what molecule must be present to drive the hydrolysis of ATP forward?   A glycerol molecule to separate the low energy bond between two phosphate groups   A dehydrated form of amino acids that will destroy the peptide bonds between the polypeptide.   A phosphate molecule to degrade the ester bond between phosphate and carboxylic acid groups.   A water molecule to break the acid anhydride/phosphoanhydride bond between two phosphate groups.
