Question

1. here is a molecule of atp. label it. use an arrow to show which bond is likely to break.

a. by what process will that bond break?
b. explain the name atp by listing all the molecules that make it up.

Explanation:

a. The bond between the terminal phosphate group and the rest of the ATP molecule is likely to break via hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is the process of breaking a bond by adding water. In ATP hydrolysis, water is used to break the high - energy phosphate bond, releasing energy.
b. ATP stands for Adenosine Tri - Phosphate. It is composed of adenosine (which is adenine, a nitrogenous base, attached to ribose, a five - carbon sugar) and three phosphate groups.

Answer:

a. Hydrolysis
b. Adenosine Tri - Phosphate is made up of adenine (a nitrogenous base), ribose (a five - carbon sugar), and three phosphate groups.
