Question

skill level: exploring which of the above letters (a, b, c, or d) shows the high - energy bond that’s broken in atp? ____ enter the answer

Explanation:

ATP (adenosine - tri - phosphate) has two high - energy phosphate bonds. When ATP is hydrolyzed to release energy, the bond between the last two phosphate groups is broken. In the given structure, the high - energy bond that is typically broken is the one between the second and third phosphate groups, which is represented by D.

Answer:

D
