What type of chemical reaction is ATP H2O - ADP Pi energy?
It is a hydrolysis reaction.
What reaction breaks the bonds that join the phosphate groups in an ATP molecule?
In aerobic organisms, the reaction that bonds ADP (*adenosine diphosphate) with P (phosphate) to form ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is called substrate level phosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation. ADP + P + Energy <--> ATP <--> means the reaction can take place in both directions. *adenosine is adenine and ribose chemically combined. Refer to the related link for an illustration of the formation of ATP. For more information, refer to the related links.
What produces ATP by blinding phosphate groups to ADP?
ADP is exactly the same as ATP except that ATP has one more phosphate group. (ATP=Adenosine Triphosphate, ADP=Adenosine Diphosphate) This means that adding a phosphate group to ADP would make it ATP simply by definition.
Which of these phosphorylates ADP to make ATP?
ATP synthase
What is the role of ATP as an intermediate between catabolism and anabolism?
Catabolic reactions are exothermic and anabolic reactions are endothermic. For endothermic reactions ATP supplies the energy by its hydrolysis to ADP and inorganic phosphate, which can be recycled to ATP by utilizing the energy produced by exothermic reactions. By this way ATP serves as an intermediate linking the catabolism and anabolism.
Does hydrolysis use ATP?
The hydrolysis of ATP is ADP
How are condensation and hydrolysis used in the product?
The energy floats up to the top, causing atp to turn in adp and so on.
What is meant when you say that the hydrolysis ofATP to ADP is used to drive a reaction?
The hydrolysis of ATP to ADP is used to drive a reaction in metabolism.
What type of chemical reaction is ATP H2O - ADP Pi energy?
It is a hydrolysis reaction.
When ATP is broken down by hydrolysis?
ADP + Inorganic phosphorus + Energy
What is released during the reaction of hydrolysis of ATP?
When ATP is hydrolyzed ADP and a phosphate group are produced.
Is the conversion of ADP to ATP reversible?
Yes; when ATP is used up (loses a phosphate group), it can be "re-energized" (phosphorylated) by the addition of a free phosphate. ADP is constantly being made into ATP and ATP is constantly being used up and turned into ADP.
What is the free energy change of the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP?
IDK.look it up on face book
The formation of ADP and inorganic phosphate from ATP and water is an example of what kind of reaction?
hydrolysis
Is the breakdown of ATP a redox reaction?
It is an exothermic breakdown because it produces energy.
The formation of ADP and inorganic phosphate from ATP and water is an example of which kind of reaction?
It is a Hydrolysis reaction.
Is the process of ATP H2O changing to ADP p is an example of hydrolysis or dehydration?
ATP + H2O -> ADP + Pi + Energy! this is an example of hydrolysis. Water is added to cleave (lyse) an inorganic phosphate off of ATP. Here's a good link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/bv.fcgi?rid=mboc4.figgrp.269
