Summary Introduction
To review:
The addition or removal of phosphate groups from ATP is a fully reversible reaction, and the way this reversibility facilitates the use of ATP as a coupling agent for cellular reactions.
Introduction:
There are two types of reactions in all cells, anabolic and catabolic: Anabolic reaction (formation of large complex from simple ones) is an endergonic reaction with positive ∆G (change in free energy), which requires energy to form a big complex. This energy is provided by ATP (adenosine try phosphate), which is formed in the cell during catabolic reaction (break down of a complex molecule to form new small molecules). The exergonic reactions with negative ∆G release energy and this energy is stored in the form of ATP in the cell.

Which is the FALSE sentence about the ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) in biological system?
a) ATP hydrolysis could couple to endergonic reaction to overcome nonspontaneous reaction.
b)ATP is high energy molecules that could deliver chemical energy needed in cell.
c)ATP hydrolysis requires energy to proceed.
d) the hydrolytic cleavage of the terminal phosphoanhydride bond in ATP relieves some of the internal electrostatic repulsion in ATP
