If by splitting you are referring to the standard cellular process of hydrolysing the phosphodiester bonds between the first two and last two phosphate groups on the ATP molecule, then it requires oxygen atoms but not molecular oxygen. The oxygen atoms come from water. One water molecule is required per hydrolysis reaction.
ATP + H2O -> ADP + Pi
ADP + H2O -> AMP + Pi
And consequently: ATP + 2H2O -> AMP + 2Pi
In some reactions pyrophosphate is released from hydrolysis of ATP. The pyrophosphate product is usually hydrolysed in the same way to effectively produce the third reaction overall.
An equilibrium exists between ADP and ATP + AMP. It is catalysed by adenylate kinase, and is important in cellular metabolism to maintain levels of ATP and ensure regulator mechanisms work correctly.

∙ 12y agoATP is created by the breakdown of complex sugars and oxygen in a process called aerobic respiration, water is also a result of aerobic respiration. If there is no oxygen then the process becomes anearobic respiration and lactic acid is a biproduct. Lactic acid is what makes muscles sore.

What happens in a photosystem?
The role of photosynthesis II is the generation of ATP along with splitting of the water molecules. The electron transfer, is another function of photosynthesis II.
What are the three products of the light dependent reactions?
The light dependent reaction is a set of biochemical reactions in photosynthesis that require light energy that is captured by light-absorbing pigments. Its three products are oxygen, ATP and NADPH.
How much molecular oxygen is required in the fermentation of one molecule of glucose?
There is a gross of four ATP produced during glycolysis, and two are used, which leaves a net gain of two. Therefore, two ATP are used in glycolysis.
What are three molecules inside mitochondria?
They generate ATP molecules.ATPs are universal currency of energy.
How many molecules of ATP are made from breaking down a molecule of glucose?
About 36 ATP molecules are produced from a single molecule of glucose. There are 2 pathways by which ATP is produced one is aerobic (in presence of oxygen) and other is anerobic (without oxygen). ATP is the energy rich molecule produced at diffferent levels when a glucose molecule undergoes breakdown into intermediate compounds through a long pathway called glycolysis which takesplace in mitochondria. A complex series of events follow in glycolysis, which involve transfer of important groups like phosphate, hydroxyl etc from or to the glucose molecule. thus ATP is produced as a result of these complex events and utilised in daily energy requirements.
In which of photosynthesis is oxygen produced?
Formation of ATP by ATP syntheses releases a molecule of oxygen
What happens in a photosystem?
The role of photosynthesis II is the generation of ATP along with splitting of the water molecules. The electron transfer, is another function of photosynthesis II.
Special molecule that provides energy for a cells activities?
CH2O (glucose) is the most fundamental molecule metabolized by cells (in conjunction with Oxygen) for energy.
Does glycolysis require co-enzymes?
Yes. Glycolysis requires the input of 2 ATP molecules for each molecule of glucose. However, 4 ATP molecules will be produced directly from glycolysis for each molecule of glucose. Therefore, the net ATP yield of glycolysis is 2 ATP.
What element make up ATP?
ATP is adenosine tryphosphate. This molecule contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus.
What molecule acts as the energy currency for cell?
ATP
What does cellular resperation require?
oxygen, atp, releases carbon dioxide
What molecule is known as energy currency of the cell?
The chief energy currency all cells use is a molecule called ATP. ATP is the main energy source that cells use for most of their work adenosine.
In eukaryotes How many ATP are made from one glucose molecule?
With adequate oxygen, cellular respiration will produce 30-32 ATP (actual yield) OR 36-38 ATP (theoretical yield) per glucose molecule.
What process makes oxygen?
I am not sure that there is such a process that produces ATP and oxygen, however, there are 2 processes that produce ATP, while one reqires oxygen, and the other does not. The process that produces ATP and does require oxygen is called aerobic respiration. While the process that produces ATP but does not need oxygen is called anaerobic respiration.
Which molecule is a product of photosynthesis?
ATP and ADP Sugar
Cells produce ATP most efficiently in the presence of what molecule?
Oxygen. Cells can produce much more ATP from glucose in the presence of Oxygen (aerobic respiration) than without oxygen (anaerobic respiration) in a process called oxidative phosphorylation that occurs in the mitochondria of cells. In the presence of oxygen one glucose can be broken down to produce 36 ATP Without oxygen, only 4 ATP can be made
