To label: The three components of an ATP molecule.
Introduction: Nucleotides belong to the class of organic compounds. They are the building blocks of DNA and RNA. Each
d.
To indicate: The bond in the ATP molecule that is likely to break.
Introduction: ATP is chemically known as adenosine triphosphate. It is a usable form of energy for cells.
To determine: The chemical mechanism that breaks the bond among ATP.
Introduction: ATP is a usable form of energy for cells. This energy is trapped in a
e.
To explain: The reason why the hydrolysis reaction of ATP releases so much energy.
Introduction: Hydrolysis reaction occurs when a biological macromolecule is broken down. The water molecules split when a complex macromolecule is broken.
