What happens to ATP when you "use" it?

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ When ATP is "used," it undergoes hydrolysis, resulting in the release of energy and the formation of ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and an inorganic phosphate (Pi). ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Hydrolysis: ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP and Pi, releasing energy that can be used for cellular processes. The reaction can be represented as: $ ext{ATP} + ext{H}_2 ext{O} ightarrow ext{ADP} + ext{Pi} + ext{energy} $ ‖ ‖ b ⋮ Energy Release: The energy released during ATP hydrolysis is used to power various cellular activities, such as muscle contraction, active transport, and biosynthesis. ‖ ‖ c ⋮ Rephosphorylation: ADP can be rephosphorylated to ATP in processes like cellular respiration and photosynthesis, ensuring a continuous supply of ATP for the cell. ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ ATP hydrolysis ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP and Pi, releasing energy that is used for cellular activities. This process is reversible, allowing ADP to be converted back to ATP. ⚹◊What are the products formed when ATP is used in biological processes?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
