Because the membrane bound ATP Synthase protein uses high energy to bond adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and phosphate (P) into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and this requires a lot of energy because it is very difficult to bond another P to ADP (Already has two). This is why it's used as a energy molecule, because it can easily release high amounts of energy.
There is a large drop in potential energy because charge repulsion is reduced, accompanied by a large increase in entropy.
Three phosphate groups binded to ribose.They are negatively charged.
charge repulsion.
ADP-ATP is endergonic and B-C is exergonic
Energy is usually released from the ATP molecule to do work in the cell by a reaction that removes one of the phosphate- oxygen groups, leaving adenosine disphosphate (ADP). When the ATP converts to ADP, the ATP is said to be spent. Then the ADP is usually immediately recycled in mitochondria where it is recharged and comes out again as ATP.
If ATP hydrolysis is not coupled with cellular work, then energy released is converted to heat energy.
Yes, the Calvin cycle is endergonic because it uses ATP molecules rather than creates them.
The reaction don't have to deal with the equation
ATP can break down by hydrolysis (when phosphates are added) Hydrolysis reactions are exergonic, and the reverse of condensation is hydrolysis. (when phosphates are taken away)
Describe the relationships among endergonic reactions, ATP hydrolysis and cellular respiration?
making ATP is endergonic. This is because after ATP hydrolysis to form ADP + P, we now are at a lower energy state and for ATP to be formed again it has to be fueled by catabolic pathways, eg respiration. this energy input allows ATP to be formed and thus we see that phosphorylation of ADP requires energy input (endergonic) to form ATP. Converting ATP into ADP and P itself is EXERGONIC.
The hydrolysis of ATP is ADP
ADP-ATP is endergonic and B-C is exergonic

Releases energy. Exergonic.
False. It cannot be exergonic considering the nature of the pyranose ring, a strong structure that requires high pressures and temperatures in order to break it. There is a reference from 1995 [Glucose hydrolysis and oxidation in supercritical water. AIChE Journal, 41, 637 (1995)] where the authors detail the hydrolysis and oxidation of glucose in supercritical water at 246 bar and at 425 to 600ºC. On the other hand, in metabolic conditions, glucose undergoes the glycolysis pathway, a series of transformations from glucose to pyruvate in order to enter the Krebs cycle and to produce ATP in oxidative phosphorylations thereafter. The final balance of glycolysis (from glucose to ATP) is exergonic, that's the reason of why the body (in higher organisms) generates heat.
Hydrolysis and other chemical reactions are used during the process of digestion to break large molecules down into their smaller components. Hydrolytic reactions are exergonic reactions.
The breaking apart the link between ATP and phosphate which produces heat is catabolic, exergonic, and spontaneous. The burning of paper is catabolic, exergonic, and spontaneous.
If ATP hydrolysis is not coupled with cellular work, then energy released is converted to heat energy.
