Interpretation: The abbreviated balanced equation that represents the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP is to be written.
Concept introduction: Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy source for usage and storage at the cellular level. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is an essential component of several biological processes, such as catabolism, glycolysis, and oxidative phosphorylation.
Answer to Problem 72A
Explanation of Solution
ADP and ATP are both examples of biological molecules created by the cell. During the hydrolysis of ATP, the ATP molecule loses one of its three phosphates and transforms it into ADP. This phosphate molecule's energy has been released and is now available to perform work for the cell.
The abbreviated balanced equation of the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP is as follows:
