Answer;
The last phosphate bond is broken
Explanation;
- ATP also Adenosine Triphosphate contains high energy bonds located between each phosphate group.
- The energy-carrying part of an ATP molecule is the triphosphate tail. Three phosphate groups are joined by covalent bonds. The electrons in these bonds carry energy.
- When one phosphate group is removed by breaking a phosphoanhydride bond in a process called hydrolysis, energy is released, and ATP is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
Answer: The correct option is -
The last phosphate bond is broken.
Explanation:
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy currency of the cell that possesses large amount of energy in the phosphoanhydride bond (formed between the two phosphate molecules).
When ATP undergoes hydrolysis, the last bond between phosphates is broken, which releases large amount of energy, forming ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and a phosphate molecule.
Thus, the last phosphate bond is broken is the right answer.
