When ATP is hydrolyzed, a phosphate group is released along with energy, which can be used for various cellular processes. Conversion to ADP occurs, not conversion to ATP.
When ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP, a phosphate group (Pi) is removed from ATP, resulting in the release of energy that can be used to drive cellular processes. ATP hydrolysis is a key reaction in cellular metabolism, allowing cells to harness energy for various functions.
Before starch can be used for respiratory ATP production, it must be hydrolyzed to glucose. Glucose is the form of sugar that can be efficiently broken down in the process of cellular respiration to produce ATP.
When ATP is hydrolyzed (broken down), adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (P i) are released along with energy.
The majority of the energy in ATP is derived from the bonds between its phosphate groups. When ATP is hydrolyzed by breaking these bonds, energy is released that can be used by cells for various metabolic processes.
