Question
Chapter 15, Problem 43RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The amount of energy released during hydrolysis of ATP to AMP and
Concept introduction:
ATP is a very unstable molecule that hydrolyzes to give ADP and inorganic phosphate.
Hydrolysis of ATP is defined as removal of one phosphate group by breaking the bond.
The bonds between phosphate molecules are called phosphoanhydride bonds.
