What happens when ATP is converted to ADP?

Question

a
Energy remains in the same.
b
Energy is stored in bonds.
c
The cell dies.
d
Energy is released from bonds.

Answer 1

When ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is converted to ADP (adenosine diphosphate), energy is released from the bonds. Therefore, the correct answer is:

d. Energy is released from bonds.

This process occurs when the terminal phosphate group is removed from ATP, resulting in the release of energy that can be utilized by the cell for various biological functions.
